Unfortunately for this man, Bigfoot is a legend that took its toll on him…

44 year old Randy Tenley thought it would be fun to dress up in military camouflage and scare passerby on Highway 93 in Montana.

Small problem….

Unfortunately, like Bigfoot, this hoax has been put to bed.

A unidentified hunter called the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and explained his goaty disguise.

When it comes to health and getting into shape, there is so much information out there and there are so many people trying to sell you something, you have no idea what's true.

So we found a list of nine health myths that are totally not true.

It's only a myth that:

Think of the amount of time wasted in search of the mythical g-spot!! Was it all in vein, or was it worth every minute??

Science is now saying that the g-spot doesn't exist!

So what about all those women who swear that they have one?? Can they argue with 60 years of research??

Well, the researchers say they aren't a thousand percent sure (yep, they said a thousand), but that someday maybe someone with new technology could find something they missed. Wouldn't that actually mean you're only like, 99.9% sure there isn't one? Just sayin'.

While this seems odd as most women do believe there is one, and mention of it dates waaaaaaaaaay back, the news is somewhat good: those women who think that there is something wrong with them because they can't achieve vaginal orgasm shouldn't worry, because this supports that there isn't anything wrong with them at all.

Another theory is that the g-spot is more of a g-region. It isn't like a special gland or anything that can just be pointed to and labeled.

Either way, if it's taken this long to find the g-spot (LOLz), we're willing to bet that there isn't one too. Nothing changes because we haven't found it, and there's no imperative reason as to why we would need to yet!

Super interesting, none-the-less!

Pick up a weight! Women, need not be afraid of resistance training – “bulking up” is a myth. Lifting weights will make you look more tone, lead to a decrease in body fat, and boost your metabolism. Plus the lean muscle you develop will burn extra calories 24/7. For best results, use a weight that challenges you, so that you are only able to complete between 8-15 repetitions per set.
