Fact Casual

Is water actually blue? Is Pluto really not a planet? Do bulls honestly hate the color red? There are so many common facts we've been told our whole lives. But how many of us checked to see if they were even true before we shouted them from the roof tops? Definitely not me... That's why I made Fact Casual. I research common facts you've probably heard to find out if they're true, false, or somewhere in between. To learn more about the creator, head to johnlemelman.com.
