The Rolling Stones were not performing " Sympathy for the Devil " at the 1969 Altamont Free Concert when Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by a member of the local Hells Angels chapter that was serving as security. The stabbing occurred later as the band was performing " Under My Thumb ". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_arts_and_culture#Popular_music

Lightning can, and often does, strike the same place twice. Lightning in a thunderstorm is more likely to strike objects and spots that are more prominent or conductive. For instance, lightning strikes the Empire State Building in New York City on average 23 times per year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Earth_and_environmental_sciences

A penny dropped from the Empire State Building would not kill a person or crack the sidewalk. A penny is too light and has too much air resistance to acquire enough speed to do much damage since it reaches terminal velocity after falling about 15 metres (50 ft). Heavier or more aerodynamic objects could cause significant damage if dropped from that height. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Physics

There is no such thing as an " alpha " in a wolf pack. An early study that coined the term "alpha wolf" had only observed unrelated adult wolves living in captivity. In the wild, wolf packs operate like families: parents are in charge until the young grow up and start their own families, and younger wolves do not overthrow an "alpha" to become the new leader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Mammals

The idea that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute before she met Jesus is not found in the Bible or in any of the other earliest Christian writings. It has been a disputed doctrine in several theological traditions whether Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany (who anoints Jesus' feet in John 11:1–12), and the unnamed " sinful woman " who anoints Jesus' feet in Luke 7:36–50 were the same woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_arts_and_culture#Christianity

High dietary protein intake is not associated with kidney disease in healthy people. While significantly increased protein intake in the short-term is associated with changes in renal function, there is no evidence to suggest this effect persists in the long-term and results in kidney damage or disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Disease_and_preventive_healthcare

Swallowing gasoline does not generally require special emergency treatment, as long as it goes into the stomach and not the lungs. This does not mean gasoline is safe to drink; it is very dangerous when consumed. Inducing vomiting can make it worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Toxicology

The word " gringo " did not originate during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848) as a corruption of "Green, go home!", in reference to the green uniforms of American troops. The word originally simply meant "foreigner", and is probably a corruption of the Spanish word griego for "Greek" (along the lines of the idiom "It's Greek to me "). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_arts_and_culture#Language

Cockroaches would not be the only organisms capable of surviving in an environment contaminated with nuclear fallout. While cockroaches have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates, they are not immune to radiation poisoning, nor are they exceptionally radiation-resistant compared to other insects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Invertebrates

Statements in medication package inserts listing the frequency of side effects describe how often the effect occurs after taking a drug, but are not making any assertion that there is a causal connection between taking the drug and the occurrence of the side effect. In other words, what is being reported on is correlation, not necessarily causation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Disease_and_preventive_healthcare
