Urban Legend fuel...

[Vodstok]

I have an idea. lets come up with stories and try to pass them off to co-workers, family, so on as "real", but just off enough that they seem like a plausible urban legend. Start it if with "I heard" or something like that. OR, just state it as fact and let them try to look it up :).

DO NOT post actual urban legends, or actual facts (unless you are referencing them)
Here are some from me:

Frank Sinatra provided the voice for Woodstock in the old Peanuts cartoons. He asked not to be credited.

A cotton ball fired out of a rifle can penetrate the skin.

Brown Recluse spiders get into houses through toilets and sinks. the same evolutionary "fluke" that made them so poisonous also allows them to hold their breath for 20 days.

Gerald Ford is descended directly from the barbarian Hannibal.

A man in Pennsylvania had a psychotic episode where he believed he was the sole survivor in a "Night of the Living dead" style apocalypse. He injured 6 neighbors from his roof with a hunting rifle because he inssisted they were zombies.

a little girl went missing in Michigan. a diver was sent to check a local lake incase she may have been dumped. the rural lake had been overrun with pirrahna. apparently someone had a pair as pets and decided they didnt want them anymore. unfortunately populating the water with the deadly meat eaters. the diver was attacked shortly after entering the water, his partner was able to pull him and what was left of his legs back into the boat.


something like that?

[Vodstok]

Exactly :)

Good one too, btw. :D


Pool filters in Connecticut were recalled after it was found that some of the parts were made of dried Box Jellyfish eggs. The eggs have unparralelled filtering abilities, but they filters were recalled after concernas were raised about the eggs potetially hatching. Box Jellyfish are the world's most poisonous animal.

(the last part is true)


One out of every 7 used cars sold in the US has been used in a homocide.

The letter Y didnt exist in our alphabet before 1492. It was invented to avoid confusion between words conatining I and E when being translated from Arabic into English and French.

yellow 5 can lower a mans sperm count, also lowering the risk of getting pregnant while having unprotected sex.

(true) the disney company has been putting sexualinuendos in their children films for over 75 years.

last year a man was in australia surfing when a great white bit off his second(lower) half almost off,just below the genitals, a couple going by in their boat saw the man and pulled him aboard. luckily the man was alive. the couple quickly went upon shore getting medic help and in enough time the man was saved. he is now doing well, and is currently going in for reconstructive surgery. he hopes to get some of his lower bodyparts back, but its not too likely.

in florida after hurricane charley left hundreds of people without homesthe people had nowhere to turn, now they are in threat of another hurricane, francis, and are doing nothing about it. they say its not likely the hurricane will hit us from the east coast.

a girl in denver was living her life as if she didnt belong in her body. she never wore dresses and always played how the boys did. in her later years she went ot a doctor and asked if she could "change", the doctor replied yes, and she underwent breast removal, and is now having a synthetic penis put in/on(??), she hopes everything goes right and soon becomes the man she knows she truly is.

:D hows that for urban legend!!!;)

It is impossible to keep your eyes open while sneezing. No one knows why.

A Chinese worker in the early 1900's while working on a railroad bridge construction project fell into one of the concrete columns while they were being built. They were under a tight schedule to finish so the Supervisor told them to just keep pouring the concrete and the worker was buried alive.

The CDC has a blood sample that has been confirmed belongs to Lucifer, but the Government wont let them release the information, fearing it might lead to a religious war.

The ampersand ( & ) is actually a Sumerian sign for a demon whose name was "Ahnd". it's similarity to the word "and" is how it came to be used in English.

Did you hear about the guy from this years Ozfest?

It seems there is always at least one person dying each year at Ozfest, typically from over drinking, they either walk into traffic after the concert, wreck their car, or just keel over dead before they even leave. This year there was a storm that came through and took out all the lights for about half an hour. Apparently this guy , a skinny fellow passed out drunk on the ground, and when the lights went out the mischeif level went through the roof, fights breaking out, mass groping, etc etc, even a few bags were stolen, though they didnt say what it was bags of :rolleyes: . So this guy is passed out, and through all the mayhem he gets trampled to death, mind you this is all happening in the lawn that is now a muddy, murky mess. Another two hours go by and no one realizes that this guy was killed, everyone was just having a headbanging, stomping *pardon the pun* good time. After the concert was over they kick on those big mercury lights to light up the lawn so that maintenance can clean up, well apparently the muddy murky mess that these people were partying in was what was left of this poor bastard that got stomped to death.

In the original Night of the Living dead, some of the zombies were played by death row inmates who voluteered to actually get shot and die in the movie.

Most people know coca cola used to contain cocaine, but few know that dr pepper and mountain dew originally contained methadone.

Paleontologists in germany found a skeleton that belonged to what has been conclusively identified as a neanderthal werewolf. It was found with 3 silver arrowheads in the chest cavity.

there is a waterfall in Alberta Canada that flows backwards.

the idea for the game DOOM came from a photograph in a Texas museum that is actually of a canyon in Hell.

There is a computer virus developed by a Russian programmer that can cause insanity if viewed by people.

testicles are not really a body part, but a symbiotic creature that developes in the scrotum.

Newts are actually frogs that have been exposed to high heat during their meta morphisis.

Planets other than earth do not really exist. the current view of the universe is a joint plot between the various governments of the world to keep people's minds off of what is going on on our planet. that is why "progress" on the "space station" is so slow. The sound stage that the lunar landings were filmed on burned down in the 80's which is why there have been no "return trips".

All the photographs of mars' surface were shot in the Australian Outback.

People that ignore this thread will have their testicles fall off.

I thought this was funny, and somewhat on topic...



Subject: thank you;


Because of all of you:

I stopped drinking Coca-Cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains, and taking the acid build up off of batteries.

I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.

I smell awful, but thank goodness I stopped using deodorant because it causes cancer.

I don't leave my car in any parking lot even though I sometimes have to walk about seven blocks, for fear that someone might drug me with a perfume sample and then try to rob me.

I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they will ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to Uganda,
Singapore and Tokyo.

I stopped consuming several foods for fear that the estrogen they contain may turn me gay.

I also stopped eating chicken and hamburgers because they are nothing more than horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers that are bred in a lab so that places like McDonalds can sell their Big Macs.

I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.

When I go to parties, I now don't mix with anybody, for fear that someone will take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.

I donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. That poor sick girl that was about to die in the hospital. Funny thing, she never seems to get any older.

I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made, expecting the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in their special e-mail program.

It's weird, though, that my new free cell phone never arrived, and neither did the passes for my paid vacation to Disneyland.

But I am positive that all this is because of the chain I broke or forgot to follow and I got a curse from hell.



IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't send this e-mail to at least 1200 people in the next ten seconds, a bird will crap on you today at 7:00 PM.

Highway road signs across the country are marked on the back with different color, and shape stickers intended for use by the Military. By following these stickers each color will lead you to, hidden bomb shelters, military bases, ammo dumps, chemical warfare plants, etc...

All Presidents are part of a secret society, exclusively for very powerful and wealthy individuals, (kind of a Skull thing). If the President needs to send a message to the members of this group he wears a particular colored tie corresponding to the message he is trying to convey. This will then be seen by the members and they will be able to invest or sell stocks, prepare for disaster, or attend special meetings. If a member tries to leave, or divulge any information about the group, they are killed. Kennedy left and was killed 2 weeks later, Reagan tried to leave and an attempt was made on his life.

At a Presidential funeral, there is no body inside the casket, (unknown to the family). Each president dating back to Kennedy has been cryogenically frozen so as to re-animate them when our technology allows so. They are to be held at a posh Government retreat inside a highly guarded and secretive resort. They will be used as super think-tank to guide future presidents in their leadership of our country.

Too bad the X-Files isnt still on..... I would sign you up as a writer :)


Speaking of which....

The X-Files was based entirely on fact. everything that ever happened on the show was real, but thenames were changed. the government allowed the show to be made as part of a "disinformation" conspiracy. The theory was that no one would ever believe any of these incidents happened, and that anyone who tried to expose them would be labeled a crackpot who watched too much tv.

Airplanes have bveen know to disapear in an area located exactly halfway between the Great Pyramids and Stonehenge.

Ronald MCdonald has red hair because of a suicide. the original ronald mcdonald costume had white hair, but the guy who wore it was chronically depressed. He blew his brains out with a shotgun, getting blood all over the wig. Although horrified by the event, the management of the restauraunt thought the red color of the wig was more apealing, so they decided to go with that instead.

[movieman64]

So how did they come up with the "special sauce" on the Big Mac?

[Vodstok]

According to a previous legend in this thread, it is 1000 island, mayo and salamander extract.

I dont know if i can top that. :)
