No, I know, you know a guy whose cousin's college roommate's little brother did it and his stomach exploded. But no, that never happened. How do I know? I read about it on snopes.com.
Snopes is a website that deals with Urban Legends. Just about anything you've ever heard is on there. The website kind of freaks me out, though, mostly because I now know way too much about how many people have ever died at Disneyland and how (surprise: It's usually on Grad Night).
Anyway, here are five legends that surprised me. Are they true or false? You'll have to read them to find out... if you dare!
- Music: The Beatles recorded an unreleased song called "Pink Litmus Paper Shirt"
- Movies: One of the munchkins died on the set of The Wizard of Oz.
- Old Wive's Tales: Chewing gum takes seven years to digest.
- Horror: A fake mummy in a Haunted Fun House turns out to be real!
- And from the Lost Legends section: Mr. Ed was a zebra!
