    I totally thought those “facts” were going to be the made up crap that dads come up with to mess with their kids.

    I.E. My dad once told me that the reason we sweat was because if we didn’t we’d burst into flames when we get hot.

    Way more entertaining than legitimate misinformation and misunderstandings.

      In case anyone isn’t aware of the actual reason we die when we get overheated enough:

      At the point where that happens, some of our bodily enzymes would stop working, meaning some of the tiny processes that keep us alive would no longer be possible.
