This winter break, I took it upon myself to research some behind-the-scenes of "fun facts" that seem too good to be true. Below are the top eight that I found especially peculiar, and debunked on my own terms. Get ready to be blown away. And laugh a bit.

1. Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour.

First of all, why would you do this? Listen, 150 calories is 150 calories, no doubt about that. You're risking giving yourself not only an intensely massive migraine, but stares and looks of concerned faces from anyone that watches you.

"An average-sized human will burn about 2400 calories per day without doing any exercise." I really do not understand where anyone gets this information from. #thenatureofevidencePEOPLE

2. During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools.

I just have a few questions about this one. First, how large is this swimming pool? Are we talking kiddy pool or are we talking Olympic-sized-Michael-Phelps-can-swim-laps-for-days? Second, my hygienist would tend to disagree.

3. The average woman uses her height in lipstick every 5 years.

I'm more of a chapstick kind of girl, thank you very much. Seriously, where is this coming from???

4. Our ears and our nose never stop growing.

Pinocchio, that you?

Apparently, Doctor Oz says so. Although your bones stop growing, cartilage does not stop until the day you die. You learn something new every day.

5. People spend an average 22 years of their life asleep.

6. One in every five adults believes that aliens are hiding in our planet disguised as humans.

7. American car horns beep in the tune of F.

For someone who doesn't have perfect pitch, I can't confirm nor deny this one. Anyone else?

I only hear the "meep" sound when I honk my horn. No tune there.

8. The shape that Pringles make is called a 'Hyperbolic Paraboloid.'
