Know any urban myths?

we all know about carrots improving your night vision being a myth
what i didn't know was how the myth was started

The myth is thought to have started as a piece of British propaganda during World War II. That government wanted to keep secret the existence of a radar technology that allowed its bomber pilots to attack in the night

Not so much a myth, more of an out and out silly spam post. Amazes me how many fall for this and click like, or repost.

Likewise Mark Zuckerman/Microsoft are giving away thousands of $ if you like and share.

If you say candyman three times a vicious killer will appear andxzcfcxfasdfdsaaaaaaaaafdgkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkhgdfffffffffffffffffffsfggggggggggg
 
I'm voting fail. Even if they thought a train was better than a load of trucks that could go off in any direction, it would have been difficult to keep secret and the gold would have gone years ago. Leaving just a train and some memorabilia.
 
They're looking in the wrong place.
The train was run by Southern and is still waiting for a driver.

Depends on which version you've read/heard. Oh, and wasn't it Marianne Faithful rather than Mick Jagger?

It's Mick Jagger AND Marianne Faithful if you want to be pedantic. ;) Not that it matters really, it's an urban myth according to all parties involved.
 
Pretty sure it went "Woof" when it caught fire...

One of those things with local variants, no doubt; like "What's that got to do with the price of...."

Yup, just depends which version you hear first I guess.

Poodle in a Microwave sounds like it should be a punk song title I reckon

Did everyone have the Razer blades in joints of the slides in the swimming pool? Our myth wasn't our local slide but down in swansea.

Another was Porsche having a spair key behind one of the rear light clusters.

Was a myth a while ago, putting something on kids slides. Hope it was just a myth, would not put it past some silly sods..

Not heard of the Porsche spare key myth. Probably one owner did hide their spare key there. Maybe relatives or friends spotted it, and thought that was indeed where the spare key could be found. Funny how some myths start.
 
I always thought a Myth was a female Moth.
And obviously an urban Myth was one that hung around towns ?

:D
 
Inspector Clouseau: Exceause me. There is a myth in my rheum.

Clouseau: Yes. My rheum.

Messages hidden in LP's that can be heard if they are played backwards, think one band allegedly involved was Judas Priest.
 
I played an ELO LP backwards to hear the words "time is reversible, but music is not. Turn back! Turn back!" So not a myth. But that was deliberate. Some people claimed there were messages where there were none intended.
