Welcome
Welcome to Everything You Know is a Lie - A site dedicated to righting the wrongs of "known facts", Urban Myths, Old Wives Tales and scientific misnomers.
So for all of you pedants out there who find themselves screaming at either the TV or cinema screen after hearing yet another well known but equally totally false statement.... you are home.
We really appreciate our frequent visitors and thanks to web-stats WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE! But please, don't be shy. If you have a favourite well known fact that's actually totally false then please leave a comment.
Many thanks
The Pedant

We've moved hosting company, just because we're getting free space elsewhere and having two web servers seemed... excessive. Hopefully you'll not notice, or care.

Sponsors
We’ve decided to drop Google as one of our sponsors, mainly due to their draconian viewpoint on payment. It seems that while they insist on 14 day terms to be paid, advertisers have to wait 90 days. So we have elected to provide ads using Trade Doubler only. Besides, I think Google has enough of everybodies money, don't you?
Some stats from the stat file
