I overheard some ladies talking yesterday and instructing their kids not to get in the ocean. Here are two of their reasons: 1) they just had lunch and lady said you'll get cramps, you can't swim for an hour, and 2) your face will turn to scales while food is in your stomach.
Later, a young woman was advising me on my newest problem, leg cramps, and she told me it was impossible for me to get leg cramps because I wasn't sprinting. She said that leg cramping is caused from dehydration and only a person who sprints will get dehydrated; not distance people, so she suggested I see a doctor.
We all know these are pretty ridiculous, have you overheard anyone advising others about "their myths?" The people making these comments were from England.

Myth - Pigs cannot swim they cut their own throats. I have seen a pig swim and of course many other animals can swim.
Myth - I have also heard dogs can swim I was there when a marathon swimmer (he named it after Marvin Nelson a famous marathon swimmer) threw his dog a boxer dog in the water and it would have drowned if he did not go in to save it.
