the “hur” thing is not right… the Quran says “hur-al-ayn” which means women with big eyes… there are even parts where it talks about their boobs…

About #1. In Chinese culture there have been corpses dug out after 30 plus years that haven’t decomposed. Basically mummified with nails n hair growing more than millimeters. But possibly centimeters. They’re the so called ‘real’ vampires which spirits come back to take the lives of their children n childrens children etc because they are still earth bound due to mummification. To stop the angry ancestor, they dig the corpse up, scrape the meat off the bones and burn it. Then rebury the bones. All at a specific superstitious time. This may be superstition. I have yet to see the real thing. Urgh no thank you.

The black hole one is only partially correct. A black hole's gravity is in fact stronger than the original stars, but past the event horizon. Otherwise, they wouldn't be "black" holes because light would be able to escape (as it could clearly escape the original star)

unfortunately number 7 is entirely incorrect. CCTv cameras do indeed reduce crime and no serious study would dispute this. The reduction in crime drops off each year (obviously0 and detractors often use this effect to manipulate the figures but the basic fact is that in the first year of all large scale CCTV systems in cities, crime drops significantly (30 – 50%) and while the drop decreases with each year, it is still remarkable for the first three to five years. Measuring the drop in crime from before the announcement will always shop a marked decrease.

Black Holes are actually the result of a person Zenning on Katamari Damacy. They create a Katamari so dense and big, more objects are sucked into their Katamari. Scientists have seen through the hubble little avatars rolling black holes around.
