Birmingham, AL - November 21, 2002

Everyone knows Eve bit into an apple, Disney drew Mickey Mouse and Mama Cass choked on a ham sandwich. But everyone is wrong. Whether it was your parents, friends or teachers who told you those whoppers, someone lied to you. The mental_floss anniversary issue rights these wrongs with "Myths and Myth-conceptions," a revealing guide debunking every myth and misconception you've ever been fed.

The "Lies Your Mother Told You" issue is crammed with tons of other stuff that can make your Thanksgiving dinner conversation sparkle. Dazzle your friends and relatives with your newfound knowledge as you
learn:

- How the Bicycle Emancipated Women

- Four Terrifying Theories in Astronomy

- The Story of Graffiti

- Jason Carter's notions on how he's going to change the world (in the footsteps of his Nobel Peace Prize-winning grandfather)

- The Greatest Moments in Ancient Science

Hop on over to Borders, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million or other select bookstores and newsstands to grab the latest information-overloaded issue of mental_floss.
