Geocache Description:


Please DO NOT go to posted coordinates as there is NO CACHE there.
There is 15 caches in this series to find, in some of the caches you will find other coordinates write them down and when you have all the coordinates you can go find the last one in this series.
To find the right coordinates for each cache you need to know if the quote is a MYTH or TRUE. Then you can go find the cache once you figure out the right coordinates.

Good Luck and have fun.

Don't forget to look for coordinates

NORTH = N 52 AB.CDE

MYTH OR TRUE

A = Feed a cold; starve a fever.

     MYTH = 1     TRUE = 2

The erroneous advice dates back as far as 1574 when a dicitionary maker suggested fasting as a remey for fever.

 B = Beethoven was totally deaf when he composed his Ninth Symphony

     MYTH = 5     TRUE = 8

Beethoven started going deaf in 1801; he didn't start work on his Ninth Symphony until 1818

C = Upon convicting a cow for murder, a French court order the animal hanged and burned at the stake. 

      MYTH = 5     TRUE = 3

It was common to condemn animals during the Middle Ages.

D = The Ku Klux Klan owns Snapple.

     MYTH = 7     TRUE = 9

The Dr Pepper Snapple Group owns Snapple

E = Drinking alcohol can warm you up.

     MYTH = 9     TRUE = 5

Alchol dilates your small blood vessels, allowing warm blood to get closer to the skin's surface - where it cools faster.

WEST = W 113 AB.CDE

MYTH OR TRUE

 A = A copper bracelet can cure arthritis.

     MYTH = 5     TRUE = 4

There's no evidence to prove copper can be absorbed through the skin.

B = Cats have no ability to taste sweet things.

     MYTH = 1     TRUE = 0

Feline species lack the receptor for sweetness.

C = A Philadelphia restaurant had to pay $113, 500 in damages to a woman who threw a soft drink at her boyfriend and than slipped in the puddle. 

     MYTH = 7      TRUE = 5

Included in the Stella Awards for outrageous lawsuits, the tale proved untrue.

D = Chimps have been known to make tools including skewers to impale termites and sponges made from leaves to soak up water.

     MYTH = 5     TRUE = 3

Reseachers have also witnessed chimps using spears to hunt small mammals - including other primates.

E = Shaving can make your hair grow back faster and thicker.

     MYTH = 1     TRUE = 7

It's an illusion: Stubble on a clean-shaven face is simply more noticeable.
