There are quite a few listed that are inaccurate or plain wrong.
E.g., the eye changes in size with age.
A jiffy is defined in different ways depending on in what field you are (electronics, physics, computing).
Kneecaps are actually around from the get go, they just aren't ossified (made into bones) before the age of 2-6 years - before that, they exist as cartilage.
I'm sure there would be more, but I just can't be bothered... :wink:

If you can reach it, just take it off and examine it to tell the color. On second thought, DON'T!!!! :yuck::biglaugh:
