    You'd think that in the age of the internet, where more information than we can possibly consume in several lifetimes is at our fingertips, stubborn myths from the past would die away.

    But who among us still thinks the Great Wall of China is visible from space, and that it's a bad idea to pick up a lost baby bird because its mother would reject it? This awesome infographic breaks down 52 common misconceptions about life and the Universe, and let's just say, sharks aren't as lucky as you might think.


    There's lots to cover here, so let's go over some of the big ones.

    The humans and dinosaur bit doesn't seem to be a well held belief though so not sure what they're smoking

    If only we had an infographic showing us just how useless most infographics can be.

    Some of it is a little misleading

    I want to meet the people who think dinosaurs and humans were around at the same time (caveman and trex etc)... Then I'd like to compare that with the people who don't understand evolution. Is this a real percentage??

    Look out the window and watch a dinosaur fly by.
