The second entry on my list of someone-really-ought-to-have-already-told-you-this-but-in-case-they-haven’t-here-it-is-again-it’s-that-useful is Wikipedia’s list of common misconceptions.

Swallowed chewing gum does not take years to digest. George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter. MSG is harmless.
