Things that you might not know are bullshit:
You don't actually lose most of your body heat through your head.
Reading in the dark will not make you require glasses, although you will be more likely to get temporary eyestrain headaches. Similarly, carrots do not make your eye sight any better, although in moderation their vitamins are good for you anyway.
Cracking your knuckles won't make you any more susceptible to arthritis.
Sugar doesn't make children hyperactive.
Eating at night doesn't make you any fatter than eating at other times of day.
The only thing that cures a hangover is horrible, horrible moderation.
The north star is not the brightest star in the night sky. That would be Sirius. The north star is the 49th.

Is this...serious? As in...really really serious? I mean this isn't tongue in cheek like the flat-earthers is it?
The most amazing thing is that the guy narrating that video is comics legend Neal Adams, who illustrated such classic stories as The Joker's Five-Way Revenge and Green Lantern-Green Arrow
Eating at night doesn't make you any fatter than eating at other times of day.
My trained, experienced veterinarian told me the other day that my dog was fat because I was feeding him too late in the day. No, my dog is fat because he is a lazy cunt. Let me show you these cohort study results supporting causation between fatness and being a lazy cunt.

Knuckle Cracking will not cause arthritus
but interestingly enough, the same studies point to a correlation between knuckle cracking and loss of grip strength.
A researcher also won an ignobel prize for carrying out a study on himself for something like 30 years, where he happily cracked the knuckles on one hand and never on the other. The cracking hand had no sign of arthritus but his grip strength in that hand was significantly less.
I mean, sample size of one and all that but it's an interesting story

Gravity doesn't exist. Things aren't just drawn to each other. When you jump, you're not really pushing away from the earth and then falling back down. Both you and the earth get slightly smaller for a second and distance appears between you which is then closed when you both return to your previous size.

scientists don't masturbate!!
They achieve sexual release by proving or disproving a hypothesis
but interestingly enough, the same studies point to a correlation between knuckle cracking and loss of grip strength.

I think handedness would be the biggest determining factor
but interestingly enough, the same studies point to a correlation between knuckle cracking and loss of grip strength.

Your grip strength is only lowered somewhat immediately after cracking your knuckles. It returns to normal shortly afterward.
One of my instructors told me about a news story she saw about a cat and a rabbit that had mated and produced "cabbits". I thought she was making fun of the story so I laughed and rolled my eyes. Turns out she thought it was real. I explained that rabbit and cats are not only different species, they are not even in the same order. I said that even if a cat and a rabbit got past the fact that they are not sexually attracted to each other and mated (animals hump all sorts of things after all), they cannot possibly conceive young. If a human had sex with a dog, you wouldn't get dog/human babies, despite what happened on Family Guy.
Her response was that it was on the news and therefore had to be true.
"Despite the broad agreement that exists for such an approach, there are still too many Republicans in Congress that have refused to listen to the voices of reason and compromise that are coming from outside of Washington," Obama told reporters after the super committee announced its failure.

To investigate the relation of habitual knuckle cracking to hand function 300 consecutive patients aged 45 years or above and without evidence of neuromuscular, inflammatory, or malignant disease were evaluated for the presence of habitual knuckle cracking and hand arthritis/dysfunction. The age and sex distribution of the patients (74 habitual knuckle crackers, 226 non-knuckle crackers) was similar. There was no increased preponderance of arthritis of the hand in either group; however, habitual knuckle crackers were more likely to have hand swelling and lower grip strength.
In the article details it suggests grip strength may be lessened up to 75% in the long term
But is grip strength supposed to be equal for both hands? I wouldn't be surprised if the dominant hand had a better grip.
Did he use one hand more than the other? That could affect it too.
There are far too many variables to say that study means anything.
Unfortunatly the study isn't available online for free
but it was carried out with an emphasis on Arthritis & Rheumatism. After 50 years of cracking on one hand, that hand was no more arthritic than the other. The weakening and joint swelling was an unexpected, but noted effect.
Like I said, it's a sample size of one so it's not hard science
Man I had someone tell me that they don't understand why I have to take pills for my bipolar disorder
because don't I want to have raw creative energy to make works of arts and be an arteest
Were you the one with the story about people being jealous of you for being bipolar, because some famous artists happened to be bipolar or some such nonsense

I suspect that a stronger determinant would be use of the hand. I mean, I crack my knuckles a few times a day, probably, but I can deadlift 500 lbs. I doubt the knuckle-cracking has much affected my ability to grip that.

When you have 225 people who don't crack their knuckles
and 75 people who do
and the people who do have 75% less grip strength than those who don't

I actually did put off sex just yesterday in order to talk about science for a little bit longer so...
you say that like Alan Moore doesn't really worship the snake god Glycon
when you find the stress gets to be too much, just start taking nature's all-natural cure, opium
this sounds like a solid plan

Most important variable.
edit: and as i go looking for this, the topic shifts to masturbation, of course

That's also merely correlation.
That's BULLSHIT.
