Book Review of 1,000 Common Delusions: And the Real Facts Behind Them

1,000 Common Delusions: And the Real Facts Behind Them
reviewed on


Some of their "facts" are wrong like the fact possums are just stunned but do not play dead. Obviously, the author has never had one play dead.

This book wants us to believe it was the white man who did the scalping. The very few times the Indians did scalping was to repay white man for all the lots of scalping the white man did. No Indian had ever done any scalping until he was taught by white settlers.

I really questioned many of their claims.

I felt the book ought to have been titled "We refute everything, even if it is true."
