little myths people say that you think are dumb

"You actually get more sun in an overcast."
freaking stupid. who the heck made that up? I hate when people say that.

"It's safer to travel by flying than driving."
So stupid. There is no way.

"Muscles grow more when on days you don't lift weights."
Yeah right. My arms look a lot swoller on days that I work out then on days when I don't and that's a fact.

You confused me. I don't know if all three are serious, or only some. You start off by throwing out a dumb as sheet myth perpetuated by womenz.

Then you throw out two completely true, factual statements.

Is the whole post sarcastic, or just the last bits?

None are sarcastic. No offense Thrasher but I thought you were smarter than that. Think about it. The only reason statistics show flying "safer" than driving is because 87% of travel is done by driving so of course the stats would show more fatal wrecks. And the other, maybe it's just me but I can tell for a fact my muscles look bigger in polo shirts on days I DO lift. And they don't bulge out as much on days I take off.

The statistics are not based on flat numbers.... You're not smarter than everybody else, Billy. We all understand that if you travel more by car, there will be more fatalities by car...

The stats are based on vehicle miles. They are adjusted by miles travelled by plane versus by car.

I think the first one is based on people jumping to conclusions. You can get sunburned on overcast days. You don't expect to, but sometimes you do. And when you get sunburn and aren't expecting it, your mind overreacts.

And I know you understand why you're trolling on the last one. Your muscles swell due to nutrient carrying blood and other fluids rushing into your damaged muscle fibers. The muscle is then rebuilt, where it is made stronger, over the following several days.


I will punch you in the ovaries!

They bulge out on the days you lift because they are inflamed. Lifting destroys the muscle tissue. When you rest the tissue repairs itself and comes back bigger and stronger the the pre-workout state. If you lifted every day then the muscles would never have the chance to repair & grow. Hence your muscles only grow on off days.

It was pretty obvious that Billy was trolling, as per usual. My issue is that the first statement is actually a stupid myth. So I was confused, because he has two true statements, preceded by a retarded statement.

I just wanted to point out the fact that you will not get sunburned more on an overcast day. It flies in the face of logic.
