that you can die if you drink coca cola and eat poprocks

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 daddy long legs spiders can kill you with deadly venom, only their fangs are too short....poor old maligned daddy longlegs....:-(

That if you suck on a penny before you take a breathalizer test you will pass

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.

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!!!!!!!!

the one about if you flash your headlights at a car that doesn't have their lights on they could be gang members who are waiting for someone to flash them so they can chase you down and shoot you

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.

The one about the 15-year-old boy...home alone...frisky...curious...vacuum cleaner...low speed, good...medium, better...high...very bad. If you don't know it, and really really want to, I'll email it to you...it's too inappropriate to put on here but it's pretty hilarious!

Got to be the Chevy Impala RATO one. I first heard it very early in my Internet life and told it as true for years until I found it to be false, or at least unsubstantiated. Still a damn good story though! http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/4131/

The serial killer with a hook for a hand that hunts teenagers in a 'lovers lane' area. He finds a couple making love in a van gets the young boy out of the van kills him & then tries to get the girl only to be found by the cops & shot down... The girl gets out of the van & walks to the police but turns behind her to see the butchered reamins of her lover dangeling from a tree limb... or The pot smoking baby sitter who gets so freaked out she mistakes the baby she is watching for a turkey or chicken and puts the naked kid in a oven & cooks him or her alive while the parents are away. Hours later the parents come home to the smell of cooked food only to discover thier dead baby & a unconsious stoned baby sitter...

Lizzie Borden and her Hatchet!

In 1984, a newspaper announced a Daylight Savings Time contest to see who would save the most time. It was a true legend too!

that Eskimos have 14 (or 24 or 34) different words for snow..I isn't true.

I paticularly like the one about the sicko that is stealing people's kidneys and leaving them in a bathtub full of ice afterward. . .

My favourite is the one that tries to tell us that the destruction of the twin towers was predicted in the Koran verse 9:11.

Bloody mary

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 this girl tans too much and her insides get fried

there were this couple and they were on their honeymoon in the mountains. they were with a hiking group and they got lost, they saw an abandoned house and it was getting dark so they decided to sleep there for the night. they were walking throught the house and they noticed that all of the paintings on the wall were of people looking down at them. they found a room and went to sleep. the next morning when they woke up they noticed that there were no paintings on the walls, just windows.

That one about Rod Stewart.

The Jenin "Massacre" Eg. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/blood.asp

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

The Romans and their vomitoriums is a pretty good one.

T.I.!!!

The ''Jamaican Vacation-toothbrush/camera'' story yo...

The one about Morgan's Corner in Hawaii, the one about Pork and the old Pali Road, Night Marchers, and the Seaweed lady at Diamond Head.

Someone already wrote it, but its the Poprocks and Coke, story. Drinking soda, choking...oww, those nasty poprocks doing this to me....UGH! ;) JK Myth, remember?

The classic Bloody Mary. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/ghosts/bloodymary.asp

The one about the woman who got bug eggs, in a paper cut to her tongue, while licking an envelope.

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!
