Did You Know These Shocking Truths About History's Weirdest Myths?

You might think OMG, the popular acronym for “Oh My God,” is a recent creation, but it actually dates back to 1917. The first known use of OMG was in a letter to Winston Churchill, which is a mind-blowing fact for sure.

When it comes to bulls seeing red, that’s a big myth. Bulls are actually colorblind. What makes them angry isn’t the color red but the spears used to torment them before the bullfighter even steps into the ring.

Lastly, the first pilgrims from the Mayflower didn’t actually land on Plymouth Rock. They first landed in Provincetown and only moved to Plymouth Rock about five weeks later.
