What urban legends have you ever heard?

http://surveycentral.org/survey/24116.html ........ the Hoiliday in Spain one

I watched a film called Urban Legends.. scary wary

I heard that if you visit snopes.com, an escaped convict with a hook for one of his hands will come to your house and microwave your dog.

i guess i have heard most of the usual ones that are sent around on the internet.

The stolen kidney.
Best friend stealing money at wedding.

Most of them.

Pop rocks and coke.

Too many to type

The one about the boyfriends head banging on the car is probably the only one I really remember

Mikey from the Life commercials died from swallowing Pop Rocks.

Do you really want me to list each and every urban legend I heard within the course of my lifetime?

Even if you don't have a dog?

TONS. The hook hand comes to mind, the babysitter one, the "welcome to Aidsville" one, the coke one, the cat one, the monkey one, the Christmas song one...

Hmmm. Ummm. In that case, if you don't have a dog, then they steal one of your kidneys and strap JATO rockets to your car so when you chase after them your car takes off, slams into a cliff killing you, and you win the Darwin Award.

Neat!

you mean like.... ever?

Lots. Almost too many to mention.

A ton.

I been there a bunch, & I never- *looks around* Wheres my dog? Oh crap! lol.

Woman driving down road, car following her and flashing and tooting, woman getting very anxious about the maniac in the car behind her, drives to police station. Guy follows her in and says he saw someone on her back seat with a knife. Everyone runs out to woman's car to check, back door is sitting open, severed head sitting on her backseat.

Also a variation on this - car breaks down with young couple in it, man goes off to get help, girl hears shrieks and cackles, terrified she locks the car doors and hunkers down to wait, starts to hear a rhythmical 'boom, boom, boom' on top of the car, goes on and on but she doesn't want to get out of the car to look, phones the police on her mobile. Police arrive soon after, shout at her to get out of the car and run towards them and not look back, she gets out, runs, but can't help herself - turns around to see a deranged lunatic sitting on top her car, with her boyfriend's severed head, banging it on the roof of the car.

Happened to a friend of a friend. Both of these. Honest.

If you can beat me you can eat me.

If flash your headlights at an on coming car without their headlights on you will be shot by gang members.

Too many to count, mostly via chain emails. I always check them on the Snopes web site.

Hey, it's just what I heard. But I heard it was true, so look out!

I've heard so many... I'm sure ya'll have heard them all too. I've made up quite a few also.

I've heard of a lot, but the ones I've heard of are well known.

Too many to list here. It's take me all day and then some.

Hundreds! The most memorable one being:
'At Parrenthorn, you have to have a shower in PE, and what they do is get a teacher to stand at both ends, turn on all the showers, you run through it and the teacher at the end catches you with a towel.'

So many that I could probably write a book.

Only American bullets come back down when you fire them into the air.

Guns can force you to commit crimes with them

There are gators in New York's sewer system
