Name some urban legends that you know of, whether they be true or not. Urban Legends are fun.
I remember hearing when I was around 11 that some kid on a cruise ship died because he went underwater looking for the pineapple under the sea that Spongebob lived in. And that week, Spongebob didn't air, so I totally believe it then. I dunno if it's true now, but it's most likely not. xD
It probably isn't, because it's hard to think that a Sponge that wears pants would be real, especially if he could talk in English.
I've never heard this one though. The only ones I know are the two Koreans and the Chinese dude dying (separate incidents) because of World of Warcraft, and the Wendy's and McDonald's incidents. Chicken legs, and human fingers.
I like the one about how your sitting down trying to do a jigsaw puzzle. When you finish and look at it, the image is a picture of you having just done that same puzzle with a serial killer standing right behind you.
- Wearing a cap alot causes baldness.
- Throwing a coin of a tall building can pierce through a human body.
A while ago I heard that at least two children in America were crushed, trying to hug the TV during teletubbies.
I thought the title said Spongebob takes livers. :cry:
Am I a terrible person for giggling while reading that?Quote:

If he did, that would be some Urban legend! :p
He did steal a balloon once though! On Free-Balloon Day! Scandalous!
That owl/clown one. I forgot how it goes, though. Something to do with babysitting and children and statues. :confused:
Oh, yeah, the one with the babysitter who called the parents and said that the owl statue was scaring her, and the parents told them to get out of the house because they didn't have an owl statue.
The owl statue attacked the babysitter and the kids and got them, anyway! Some warning. What useless parents!
That's the one. :love:
you know if a sponge was in awater for a long time wouldnt it all shrivel up?
oh, I heard this one about this chick who got pimple, and her mom told her not to pop it, but she did anyway, and it as full of itty bitty baby spiders! cuz they laid eggs on her face :D
OH YEAH. And the one about this chick who ate taco bell and there were some insect eggs in it and a week later, they hatched in her mouth or something. :love:
I heard this one about this massive thing full of porn and stolen music and people who can't spell once. Can't remember what they called it though.
Don't even TALK about such a thing. *shudders*Quote:

I've heard that if your college roomate dies, you would get an automatic perfect 4.0 gpa for the four years you are in college.
The girl and the broom incident. I'll leave it at that.
Total fabrication, but painful to hear about nonetheless.
I'm dorming it next semester for sure.Quote:

Nope.Quote:

Naw, I think they do pick them up. xD Last time I checked, more than half of the cab drivers in NY aren't even white anyways, a large chunk of them are Asian and Black. In NYC, at least, that is. I don't go to NYC enough. ;____;Quote:

At first I had no symmpay (sp) for the kid because he was an idiot, like people who mimic Jackass. Then I thought of his family and felt symmpay for them.
The disclaimer only makes me wanna do it more. [/milhouse]
Oh yeah, that one is real bad. Makes me glad to be a guy.Quote:

And what was the girl with the broom? Spoiler tag it if you must, for the weak hearted ones.
Yeah, urban legends are funny, like that one where the guy saw Psycho, so we went around in drag, killing women in the shower.
EDIT: I get the Teletubbies one....O_o My mind is dancing with flattened toddlers. Charade, I am.
If you eat poprocks and drink soda at the same time your stomach will explode or something!
Its true! That kid from the Life cereal commercials DIED because of Poprocks. :greenie: serves the dumb kid right....Quote:

Im not an idiot. Of course it isnt true. :eep: gawd, what do you take me for?
Its not too pleasant. (SPOILER) A girl is standing and masterbating with a broom and falls into it and it goes up her... Yeah, it's pretty bad.Quote:

Are you sure? Peter, Paul, and Mary have a history of the heathenistic behavior.Quote:

You could take it the literal way: It is an innocent children's song about a little boy plays with his dragon in a magical little land. Until eventually, the boy grows up and loses interest in the dragon, and the poor lizard is left all alone without saying goodbye.
Or, you could take the metaphorical way: A boy discovers marijuana, and continues to smoke it (Hence the "Puff"), and he does this throughout his life. The line "Dragons live forever, but not so little boys" can imply death. Meaning, the drug-addicted boy died in some way or another, and since marijuana is a plant, its lifespan exceeds a person's.
Excuse me for thinking too much. It is 2 in the morning, and I am sick as smurf.
The drug connection has been disproven pretty comprehensively.
I absolutely adore Snopes...:love:
Did anyone else get the email about the mega-huge gator that was supposedly found swimming in the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina? That was a hoot...
I actually went on Snopes and looked that up right after I made this thread. xDQuote:

Why do people act like Snopes is the be all, end all of fact and fiction, and completely forget that it's yet another website that any fool could put up on the internet?
xD What? I never heard that before.Quote:

Snopes cites its sources pretty comprehensively and, from what I've seen, don't definitely say "true" or "false" unless there's pretty conclusive evidence.Quote:
