Not true.
The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues (faith, hope, charity, fortitude, justice, temperance, prudence) were both written by St Thomas Aquinas, an italian catholic of noble birth who lived in the 13th century AD.

If you’re trapped in a submerged car and can’t break through the window - wait until the water fills your car (you are now holding your breath) and then you can open the door.
Or you could just avoid high water, but where’s the fun in that?
Hey, if we’re talking survival tips here, I read in one of those Worst Case Scenarios books that if you fall off a waterfall you should squeeze your buttocks so that when you break the surface, the water doesn’t shoot up your neither region.
…nether region, sorry.
From a list of known famous masons, I calculated that at least %37.209 of all US presidents were masons, undoubtedly much higher than the general population…

If your toenails are curved down towards the skin and form a cap over your toes, you should cut them in an arc, following the general line of the quick. The standard advice for cutting toenails is to cut them straight across. With curved toenails a straight cut will more often than not cause ingrown toenail problems.

The ruins of a Roman temple in Ba’albek, Lebanon, rest upon a foundation consisting of three massive stones. Each stone is 63 feet long by 13 feet high by 10 feet thick, and weighs in at approximately 1,200 tons. To date, no one has come up with a feasible explanation for how these stones were moved from the quarry site, half a mile away. Stranger still is an ever larger stone that remained at the same quarry after being cut. Thought by many to be the single largest mass of hewn stone in the world, the megalith measures 68 feet long by 14 feet high by 14 feet thick. The technology required to move an object of such incredible size and weight did not exist in the modern world until NASA constructed the giant crawler used for transporting the Saturn V rocket to its launch pad.
