Looking for some "did you know" factoids to debunk?

I write stuff for a podcast (imaginary friends) and I am looking for some factoids to bust. The first one I did was "if all the people in china jumped in the ocean it would cause a tidal wave". I did the math and worked out the sea level would rise by 0.2 nanometres. So if you know any more of these can you please write them down.
