If you really want to find out which urban legends are true or not go to www.snopes.com You can find pretty much any urban legend there and they will let you know if true or not with explanations. Works wonders when you get one of those emails like.."Be careful who you let babysit your child, a babysitter in Atlanta was tripping on acid and thought the baby was a turkey and then put it in the oven." I know that's pretty nasty, but things like that. So have fun snoping!!! |
