were stopped at the part gates by cast members who politely informed the guests

and therefore would notbe allowed to enter the park.

QUESTION 2. HAIR GROWS BACK DARKER AND THICKER AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHAVED.

CORRECT! CRAP!CRAP! Cutting does not stimulate new growth. (If it did, those

going bald would be shaving afflicted areas to encourage regrowth of what they’re

losing.) This belief probably stems from the perception that short hair seems to be

tougher than long hair.

QUESTION 9. CAN A SQUID FLY OUT OF WATER?

CORRECT! FACT!For all these flying squid species, jet propulsion is the key for

getting out of the water in the first place. First, a squid expands its mantle—the cloak

of soft muscular tissue that surrounds its body—which fills with water. Then the squid

quickly contracts it to send the trapped water shooting through a flexible tube below

its head, called the funnel or siphon. By changing the position of this funnel, a

squid can propel itself in almost any direction. Underwater, squid use jet propulsion to

pounce on swift prey and escape intimidating predators. But sometimes jetting

through the currents is not enough to make a successful getaway—sometimes, a squid

needs to get out of the water altogether. So they fly.
