That "Daddy Longlegs" are the most poisenous spiders evar. When in fact they aren't even spiders and have absolutely no poison whatsoever.

That Taco Bell serves Grade D or G beef which is barely fit for human consumption.
While not true the grades they probably serve are Utility, Cutter, and Canner. Probably mostly Canner. :p

That doing lots of situps will make you lose fat from your midsection.

In reality, you cannot spot reduce fat.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

Edit: Oh I got distracted by snopes.com.... What were we talking about?

That you can tell how sophisticated an engine is by its "per liter horsepower".

This stat will always favor smaller engines. Used by riceboys who have cars with small engines, of course it benefits them. My friend's RC car engine has hundreds of Hp per liter, but it's not sophisticated at all. But it is small.
