Let me say the quiet part out loud, and this is a message to the moderator more than anyone else. Clearly there’s a cognitive issue at play here. If you’re comfortable continuing this, whatever the unintended consequences, be our guest. But ultimately, the power is yours to stop it.

I stumbled across this really fascinating video from BBC News, explaining the science behind why some people "misremember" significant world events.

I find this interesting given a series of recent interviews I've seen with news anchors recounting their experiences from September 11th, 2001... including this conversation with Lisa LaFlamme and Rod Black, who were hosting Canada AM on that horrible, horrible Tuesday morning.

LaFlamme makes note of hopping in a news truck and driving across the border immediately after the program... certainly an exhilarating story that's been repeated several times over the years:





The thing is... it's not true... as indicated in this footage from Canada AM's coverage the following morning, September 12th, with Lisa firmly behind the anchor desk in Toronto.
 

Seriously...?
