The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
We have to break it to you that tongue is not the strongest muscle in the body. The tongue itself is a muscle and it contains at least eight different muscles which are intertwine by creating a very flexible matrix. The strongest muscle in the body is Masseter which is responsible for lifting up the jaw.

"I Am" is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
True, to make a sentence in English, it should both include a subject and predicate. In the sentence, ‘I am’, ‘I’ is subject and ‘am’ is a predicate and also expresses a complete thought. Thus, ‘I am’ is the shortest sentence in English.

When the moon is directly overhead, you will weigh slightly less.
Yes, this is true, as per the calculation it is said that a person will weigh 0.48g lighter for a 100kg person. When the moon is directly overhead, they are going to weigh 0.5g lighter as the moon attracts you in the same way it attracts water when it makes tides.

Coca-Cola was originally green.
This is a total myth as Coca-Cola has always been the same colour right from the start since its invention in 1886. You should try reading Coca-Cola story of John S. Pemberton from Atlanta in 1886 for better clarifications.

Chocolate can kill dogs, as it contains theobromine, which affects their heart and nervous system.
Chocolate consists of an ingredient called theobromine (similar to caffeine) that is toxic to dogs. Dogs are not capable of breaking it down or metabolizing theobromine as humans can. Theobromine majorly affects a dog’s central nervous system, heart and kidneys.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men!
This is pure myth! Blink rates are pretty identical of both the sexes. Scientists have suggested that the interval between blink is nearly about 2-10 seconds so an average person blinks about 10 times per minute. Another interesting fact is that, we blink less frequently if our eyes are focused on one thing. For instance, while you read, you only blink three times per minute because while reading you are very focused.
Clearly.

The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.
This tongue twister is considered as the toughest one to say by the Guiness Book of Records known as "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick". This tongue twister is extremely difficult to say as these string of words quickly multiple times. This may not make much sense, but then tongue twisters are not more than just a series of words put together to exercise your tongue.

LEGO bricks withstand compression better than concrete. An ordinary plastic LEGO brick is able to support the weight of 375,000 other bricks before it fails. This, theoretically, would let you build a tower nearing 3.5km in height. Scaling this up to house-size bricks, however, would cost far too much.

It's almost impossible to get too much sugar from fresh fruit. While the sugar in fruit is mostly fructose and glucose (fructose is what's converted into fat in your body), you can't get too much sugar from fresh fruit. Fresh fruit contains a lot of fibre and water which slows down your digestion and makes you feel full.

Mirrors facing each other don't produce infinite reflections. Each reflection will be darker than the last and eventually fade into invisibility. Mirrors absorb a fraction of the energy of the light striking them. The total number of reflections mirrors can produce? A few hundred.

All mammals get goosebumps. When your hair stands on end, tiny muscles contract at each hair's base which distorts the skin to create goosebumps. This process is called piloerection and is present in all mammals. Hair or fur is used to trap an insulating air layer.
