    The one that claims there is a gang in Omaha that is so cold-blooded and mean that they drive with their high-beam headlights all the time at night. If you are the unfortunate soul who flashes your own high beams at them, they will follow you and shoot you to death.

    I think there are variations on this in different parts of the world.

    That all six flight that landed on the moon, Apollo 11,12,14,15,16 and 17 were fake. They were made on a TV studio here on earth. Just think about it: Thousands of people involved including brilliant scientists, engineers and technicians; the close watch of the Soviets, who also had a Space Program, and millions and millions of people on the whole planet keeping an eye on the whole thing. I was between sixth and tenth grade in school when it happened and I remember that it was the basic conversation topic of all the continents, like the impact of 9-11, the assassination of JFK, the murder of Lady D, Hurricane Katrina all rolled into one....AND IT WAS A FAKE!!!!! EVERYONE INVOLVED HAS BEEN ABLE TO KEEP THAT SECRET!!!!! ISN'T THIS THE MOTHER OF ALL URBAN LEGENDS!!!!!!!!

    My favorite urban legend has got to be the one about the baby sitter and the phone ringing. You know the whole, "Have you checked the children?" one. It is also the one that scares me the most.

    In London from 3-31 to 4-7--GTA Master

    The urban legend that a woman can stop herself from getting pregnant if the guy doesn't use a condom by shaking a bottle of diet coke and using it as a douche-supposedly kills the sperm, therefore not making her pregnant. I heard this one isn't true, but not actually confirmed false.

    Cowboy-Matter of Fact

    A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 and has $560
    monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting in winter, and of
    course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the lake
    with the guns, the dog, and of course the new vehicle.

    They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now, they want to
    make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for
    the decoys to float on. In order to make a hole large enough to look
    like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on, it is going
    to take a little more effort than an ice hole drill.

    So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite
    with a short, 40-second fuse. Now these two Rocket Scientists do take
    into consideration that they want to place the stick of dynamite on the
    ice at a location far from where they are standing (and the new
    Navigator), because they don't want to take the risk of slipping on the
    ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke
    with the resulting blast.

    They light the 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite. Remember a
    couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, the guns and
    the dog? Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used
    for RETRIEVING. Especially things thrown by the owner.

    You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on
    the ice and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second
    fuse about the time it hits the ice. The two men yell, scream, wave
    their arms and wonder what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps
    coming. One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The
    shotgun is loaded with # 8 buckshot, hardly big enough to stop a Black
    Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but continues on.
    Another shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really
    confused, and of course terrified, thinking these two geniuses have
    gone insane.

    The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator.
    ----BOOM!---- Dog and Navigator are blown to bits and sink to the
    bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots
    standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on
    their faces.
    The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by
    illegal use of explosives is not covered. He still had yet to make the
    first of those $560 a month payments!

    Story time!!!

    A woman was walking down the street when a man came up to her. He was wearing tattered clothing with a cane. He looked pretty helpless. He asked the woman if she could do a favor for him. The woman agreed because it looked like the man needed some help.
    He gave her an envolope with an address on it, and said that she could deliver it to the house. She took it and said it would get there. The man thanked her and walked off.
    The women started walking, and looked back. She saw the man run away, tossing the cane to the side. She thought of this suspicious, so she turned in the envolope to the police.

    The next day, the police contacted her. They said that at the address on the envolope was a house. They found dead bodies with several organs missing.
    She was shocked and asked what was in the envolope.

    The policeman said there was a letter. The letter read "This is the last one I'm sending you today."

    the one where an honest politicians runs for office eh just kidding i saw this one where this young couple in the 50's were considering having sex obviously sex before marriage was very looked down upon then but anyways so the guy goes into the store pokes around then finally has enough nerve to ask for condoms(guess they were put behind the counter back then). his gf's father was very strict and didn't even like the idea of her dating. When the guy knocked on the door guess who answered... the clerk from the store who sold him the condoms apparently her father owned the store. and let's just say he never had a date w/her again
