  Chameleons change color to blend in with surroundings.
  FALSE!
  Chameleon color-changing is typically triggered by physical,
  physiological and emotional changes. If they're feeling fussy,
  say angry or afraid or combative, they'll change colors
  using their chromatophores. They'll also change colors as a way
  of communicating in various manners and to pick a fight
  with a competitor. Light and temperature play a big part,
  too, in how these little fancy pantses look.

  There’s a man in Florida who’s been arrested 62 times for “trespassing” at work.
  TRUE!
  His name is Earl Samson.
  Miami Gardens police have stopped and
  questioned a 28-year-old Florida black man
  a total of 258 times in four years, reports
  the Miami Herald.
  In addition to the stops, Earl Sampson has
  been searched over 100 times and arrested
  56 times.
  The instances have even followed him to
  his place of work – the 207 Quickstop –
  where Sampson has been arrested
  for trespassing 62 times even though he
  works at the Convenience store as a clerk.
  But out of all of these arrests, searches and
  stops, Sampson’s most serious conviction
  remains possession of marijuana.
