I know you have one... we have all heard about the little old lady that tried to dry the cat in the microwave...the story of the Bloomingdale's cookie recipe...the dog that fetched a stick of dynamite.

My favorite urban legend is that McDonald's allegedly uses worm meat,instead of hamburger meat when they make their burgers. All the time when I was growing up in the 1970's as a little kid,there were ALOT of people that insisted that this urban legend was true!! A few people even told us kids that McDonald's kept jars of worms,that were ready to be mushed up into worm meat,EWWWW GROSS!! McDonald's insists that this urban legend is not true,and that it only uses real meat in it's burgers,what kind of meat,I am not sure of?? *Winnie Giggles*

What about the urban legend that Arby's roast beef comes to the restaurant in a powdered,or liquid form,and then it is somehow cooked until the powdered mass or liquid mass cooks into a solid blob of meat. Arby's has denied this urban leged as well,claiming that their meat has a little bit of juice in it when it arrives to the restaurant,so it will cook properly with their special cooking equipment!! Winnie *SMILES* ;-)

There's one I get almost every holiday season - a warning to be on the lookout for carjackers who come up to women in parking lots and try to sell them perfume.

I sure love Snopes for showing people how wrong they are when you get all those dire warnings about parking garage attacks and the like.


The only one I can think of off the top of my head is where tourists in Mexico came back to find their hotel room had been robbed all but their camera and toothbrushes, and when they get home and develop the film, they see the robbers took pictures of themselves with the toothbrushes up their butts - toothbrushes the tourists had been using since then.

If I was a tough frat guy, I would hate to admit that my erect "appendage" was small enough to fit through a donut hole without tearing up the donut!


Miksi said it all depends on how big the donut holes were.. I think the ones here must be bigger. *snicker*


And then Miksi gave me this to share with you, although, it isn't an urban legend, it is funny and there is a story about it happening:



Take three pigs, and label them 1, 2, and 4. Then let them loose around a shopping mall, or hospital, or other large building. When they find the pigs they'll wonder where #3 is and continue looking.
