Ok, so we all love and know a good myth now and again, whethers its shooting a scotsman with a crossbow, falling out of a plane at 30000 feet and surviving or the son of a gun myth.
curiously I am wondering what is your favourate myth? and do you know whether they are true or not?
My favourate myth was the "fake moonlanding" were people say the moon landings were staged and faked,
I do believe it could have been faked however I find it very hard to.
Yours?

apprently in toilet blocks/public toilets people always use the last cubicles as they think the first ones are the most used and thus dirtiest, when in actual fact its the last cubicles as most people think that? weird, do you think that?
I would never doubt the moonlanding tho. That's rather silly for me.
But the chance of getting HIV from a needlestick injury is something like 3/1000, so don't worry too much about checking stuff at the Odeon [/pedantic]

I quite like the urban legends about corporate stuff like coca-cola + McDs. I think snopes has a good feature on both.
Oh, so you were speaking whether things really happened or are true. Well there is a lot in Astrophysics. I'm actually experiencing the wikipedia phenomenon about astrophysical stuff and it blows me away every time a new. Some of these things - like the existence of dark matter is so intriguing, yet so unbelievable.
As a kid I remember a similar one, but it was in the coin return of a public phone and you'd then be addicted to heroin
My great grandma didn't believe the moon landing happened. In all seriousness she said 'nah, they'll've gone to a planet and filmed it there.' She was a little strange. Aparently I take after her. :razz:
kel from 'kenan and kel' died i fell for both of these.
i am gullible
Who likes orange soda?
Hehe, i never heard that one but I completly forgot about that show, loved it
I remember that. My cousin said they even held a funeral for him that was broadcast on TV. She got it mixed up with something else.
Utter moron.
haha, there is another one! Put a bowl with warm water on your nightstand and have your hand in there when you fall asleep. Absolutely nothing happens, try it!
I watched on the history channel on a history of drugs thing that coke did in fact contain the cocoa leaves (well it was cooked into it or something so granted it was nothing like doing a line... like an extract or something) so I believe that it is kind of true the cocaine/coke thing.
ah those are my favourite ones! i've spent many hours reading up on it and watching stuff on youtube, very interesting!
It's so true! I was told by an old friend at college that this happened to her boyfriend's mate....I'd never heard it before, and was convinced it was true. It was one of my party stories, I loved it.
Then I went to Thailand and met a Scottish couple from Glasgow, who told me the same story...apparantly it happened to their mate's cousin. That's when I caught on...
Most of the heat is lost out of the top of your head.
Most rumours about teachers.
Most rumours about the local non-English takeaway restaurant.
"My mate went to the toilet, walked past the kitchen and saw twenty small Indian children cutting up meat and stirring curry."
lol heard this one a few times too!
My mate's dog went into the local Chinese and never came out.
"Where's my cock?"
"In my ass!"
"Damn right it is!"
Classic lines no doubt, so perhaps possible that all these people heard it. But I'm highly sceptical.
The Marilyn Manson is the geeky kid from The Wonder Years myth got me
Have just found it on snopes
