Just noticed I typo'd amusing when I meant amazing.
I flipped through these, and most of them are dumb as shit. I'm sorry if you didn't know pineapples don't grow on trees, or peanuts grow underground, but that's not exactly a revelation to most of us. The thing about oranges being treated with ethylene gas is also nonsensical...that's only for certain varieties that grow in certain conditions that don't turn orange naturally when they ripen. The same process is used for tomatoes and a bunch of other stuff. It's completely harmless. Tic-tacs won't automatically come out one-at-a-time just because you turn the container over, someone obviously set that one on the lid. Of course the "i before e rule" has a few caveats. Of course coyotes run faster than roadrunners IRL, roadrunners IRL aren't even a foot tall. However, were they to be as tall as a coyote, as in the cartoon, they would run roughly 66 mph, well over the coyote's 42. Who didn't know Toad was wearing a hat? Who the fuck needs a "pringles removal method"? Not to mention the fucking...
er.
uh...sorry.

A Danish study has attempted to link autism to circumcision. I haven't read it yet, but yeesh.

I'm skeptical.
Japan
A 2005 study of a part of Yokohama with a stable population of about 300,000 reported a cumulative incidence to age 7 years of 48 cases of ASD per 10,000 children in 1989, and 86 in 1990. After the vaccination rate of MMR vaccine dropped to near zero, the incidence rate grew to 97 and 161 cases per 10,000 children born in 1993 and 1994, respectively, indicating that MMR vaccine did not cause autism.[44]

Japan is ranked at about 1% circumcision rate.
I'm sure you could do this multiple times for multiple countries that don't circumcise with any regularity and still see comparible amounts of autism to countries that do practice it.
