The truth is ...

— The largest city in America is not New York or Los Angeles — it's Jacksonville, Florida!

Now you can face the facts — on everything from aphrodisiacs to zip codes — in this alphabetically arranged collection of more than 590 fabulous fallacies and memorable misconceptions. You won't know what you're missing until mastered Myth Information.
