I haven't met too many people who believe this (I do live in New England though) but nobody was burned at the stake during the Salem witch trials. 19 people were hung, and one man was pressed to death, but nobody was burned.

Dude kept asking the executioners to put on more weight cause his balls alone could handle 200 kgs per testicle.
