Debunking the tongue



The "tongue map" concept was disproven in 1974. Why is it still being taught in Elementary schools around the world?

It leaves a bitter taste everywhere in my mouth.

Common depiction of airflow over a wing. This wing has no lift.

True airflow over a wing with lift, showing upwash and downwash.

Why are high school students are taught that planes fly by magically speeding the air over the top of the wing to generate lift? Someone out there obviously wants to keep kids dumb.

...And what the hell is this all about? Why do schools continue to teach kids that we "evolved" from apes when any schmuck can plainly tell that God Almighty created each and every thing on this Earth from scratch?

I like how the missing link between the upright bipedal ape and the naked guy is a naked guy with a mullet and a stache.

And what about this heliocentric crap?


If the sun was really that big and the earth revolved that close to it, we would clearly all burn up.
