Fellow fedizens! As decreed by xkcd.com/843/ some fifteen years ago, it is once again time to spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_.

Miss Lenhart stands in front of a blackboard with a laptop in her hand, saying: Okay, middle school students, it’s the first Tuesday in February. This means that by law and custom, we must spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article List of common misconceptions, so you can spend the rest of your lives being a little less wrong. The guests at every party you’ll ever attend thank us in advance. Caption: I wish I lived in this universe.

Quiz question: "In ATP hydrolysis, the phosphoanhydride bond between the gamma and beta phosphates in ATP (1) is definitely not a high energy bond, and (2) breaking that bond costs energy, it does not liberate energy. So why is this reaction so exothermic and exergonic? And why has everyone been lying to you about this reaction?"

The dodo was actually intelligent and inedible, contrary to popular belief. They went extinct mainly due to habitat loss and the introduction of invasive species by explorers, rather than being hunted. It didn't help that they had no fear of humans, like penguins today. They were initially named "Walghvoghel" meaning "tasteless bird" by early Dutch explorers. And as members of the family Columbidae, which includes pigeons, they were probably of above-average avian intelligence.
