Don't forget: some entries have footnotes.
21) How many people know that the Nation of Islam was not founded by an African-American, but by a Jewish man?
Master Fard Muhammed
 
Footnote 1 . | . Footnote 2

22) In the Old Testament book of Exodus, we are told about Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, which were written on two stones. 
 

However, research reveals that the Ten Commandments were not written in the way that we have been led to believe.

Below is a comment from a Bible reference work:

Christianity and Judaism have both portrayed the Ten Commandments as large elongated stone tablets, as shown below.
Above: modern-day depictions in Judaism.


Here is a famous painting of Moses with the Ten Commandments of God, which again are portrayed as elongated stones ...

However, the original model for the idea of elongated stones had nothing to do with Judaism at all.  It was borrowed from a symbol used by the Pharaohs of Egypt ... as you will see below.

Above is just one problem with the story of the stones of the Ten Commandments.  There is a far more contoversial one which you have never heard, which will be presented here soon.
