    Wow, used to watch Fact or Fiction in Australia and they would tell the story and ask you to decide whether you thought it was fact or fiction. The ones you thought must be fiction invarioubly turned out to be true.

    Two examples;

    First, about the man who was snorkling in a lake in Canada (I think) and got scooped up by a plane fighting a forest fire and dropped onto the inferno. Missing for weeks and people came across a burned corpse which turned out to be him. So whilst diving, he was scooped by a firefighting plane and dropped onto a fire. FACT

    Second one I'll give you, a lady, who kinda like it kinky used to get upto all sorts with her boyf, including using a lobster as a stimulant (?). A few days later, ridicolously bad stomach cramps all day, goes to the toilet, can only be assumed that something came out of her, but the boyf heard an almight scream and ran into the jacks to see her faint and crack her head a fatal blow off the toilet bowl and on peeking into the bowl saw a lot of blood and a lot of large seamonkey tyoe things swimming around. FACT

    TV would not lie to me!

    holy. sh!t.

    thats.... disturbing.

    another urban myth when i was a kid, was that if you got tapeworm, you had to have the doc place food on your tongue and wait for the tapeworm to come up from your belly, and when it reached the food, the doc would grab it and pull it out. :rolleyes:

    I'd hazard a guess today that more people in Ireland believe in them than do in Christianity.

    Dunno about the 2nd story but I heard the snorkling guy being killed was true. He was found up on a tree where he landed.

    I used to tell people that if you have the flu don't go near a PC............that's how they get viruses :pac: Can't believe how many times that worked!

    love it pete, you are a legend, laughin my ass off here :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    this is an urban legend, could be true, heard it when I was 14. apparently 2 girls with braces were found in the public toilets in naas stuck together by the braces on their teeth, actually thinking about it now it was prob untrue but at the time hearing anything lesbian related was a big deal



    true story, cept it was in Mexico and was a boring boy/girl kiss rather then a super cool girl/girl one

    Don't get me started on "The Knock" :rolleyes:

    Or the fcuking "Death rattle".

    Had a row with a cousin of mine in a hospital when he started talking about that, gives me the willies, it does.

    what is the death rattle pete? never heard of that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    I think everyone has heard the story of the guy drinking in a bar,wakes up in a bath tub full of ice,minus a kidney which was removed by the chinese and sold on the black market.

    Plot for Crank 3? :pac:

    If you cross your eyes they'll stay like that forever.

    If you stand too close to the TV you'll get square eyes / cancer

    There's a guy up in the sky watching everything you do but the slate was wiped clean if you went to mass / confessions. It was like topping up your phone with credit :pac:

    Don't read this if your on your own :pac:

    Seriously, could freak you out.
    It's when a person is dying a painful slow death, like Cancer. Their organs start to fail and as they start to suffocate and die their throat makes a rattling noise.

    It's purely physics but fools like to say it's a warning that follows the Mc's and O's. Usually nonsense.

    Anyway, it was said to me about a relative and just wanted to throw them threw a window tbh.

    Hard enough seeing someone die without idiots to start ranting about superstitious sh*te.

    I believed chewing gum was made of rat tails for a while as a child.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    lovely.... :(


    why did i ask.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    You'll die if you swallow chewing gum

    You'll die if you hold a fart in (Spontanious Combustion, apparently! :D )

    i heard if you swallowed chewing gum, it'd stick to your heart :rolleyes:

    i had an image of my heart being covered in big blobs of gum :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,497 ✭✭✭Doop


    If you swallow chewing gum, it takes 8/10/100 years to digest..

    Also they did a the scuba diver / fire fighting helicopter thing on mythbusters....
    not possible im afraid... (and I know they wouldnt lie to me)



    Edit: way too slow on the chewing gum thing!

    Aint no legend unfortunately, I was on two grannies death beds and they both had the 'death rattle' and neither were cancer related, just saliva in the throat from being on the back. Depressing ****... ANYWAY

    I'm from the sticks and always heard the old stories about the banshees and all (indeed every corner around here has its own goast, our own house has two and a headless horseman but its 200 years olds so those stories accumulate)

    But, I was walking over to my mates house one night and just got towards the end of my driveway. This is a 1/2 mile drive way by a forest before you come to the main road, and close to the end I heard the most blood curdling scream. I swear to god, I dont get scared easy, but this scream made my blood cold.

    I nearly died where I stood. And then I heard the voice of aul Hugh (RIP) who was just passing the end of the road, he saw me in the darkness and knew how scared I'd be after hearing that. After a small heart attack from the fright of his voice he told me that that was the Banshee.

    But what the banshee was and is is a horny little vixen who lets out that screech whilst looking for, and whilst receiving a good fox shagging.

    Hats off to Mr. Fox.

    But having heard that sound, being someone who was 'unscarable' considering none of the lads would ever even drive back to my house unaccompanied, I'll tell you for certain, if it wasn't for aul Hugh to tell me different I'd beliebe in the banshee too.

    But if you hear him you're ok, if you don't, you're dead :eek:

    I remember that one, there wasn't enough suction from the pump to suck up Buster, even after they took his tank off. Nice myth though and would be a great way to die

    what is the death rattle pete? never heard of that one.

    Sound of noisy bubbly breathing, person usually unresponsive. Having difficulty in clearing pharnygeal secretions. start drug such as scopaderm to prevent build up of secretions which will dry up any upper respiratory tract secretions. Very distressing for relatives.

    lovely.... :(


    why did i ask.

    Why did you look under the spoiler, women :rolleyes: .. :p

    I once gave a girl a fake present for Christmas as I knew she'd open it.

    We were going to be apart and were supposed to open them on the phone together (this is starting to sound Ghey :pac:)

    Anyway, I gave it to her and said: "Now promise you won't open till Christmas morning" and she said "Course not, I wouldn't spoil Christmas".

    I just waited for the inevitable phone call, which came with her laughing:

    I had sent her a Jewllers diamond watch case, but inside was one of those Neon Fans, where when you press the button, it writes a sentence in the air .. which said: "Eh, thought you said you wouldn't open it" :pac:

    WHOA WHOA WHOA

    Thet purposely disproved mythbusters cos it wasn't a helicopter suction deal but a diving plane deal.

    I refused to believe it myself for months until the lads being sick of my shie pulled it up on the net. Check fict or faction!

    Planes were dismissed, as all of them have a small nozzle for collecting water, far too small for a diver. They next looked at a "bambi bucket," which is dipped into the ocean by the helicopter. The one that they looked at was clearly too small for a diver to fit into.

    They finally settled on the Ericson SkyCrane mechanism, which is a prop-driven hose that is lowered into the water by the helicopter that sucks water into its tank. They liked this scenario because of active suction.

    This freak occurence of diver fatality supposedly happened in Australia, USA and Canada too, yet no-one has a name of the diver who died in any of these countries.

    Remember everyone thought that American Astronauts flew to the Moon and ripped around it in Moon Buggys?

    They even had footage with the American Flag blowing in the wind, fools :pac:

    Ahhh, wish I'd been alive to witness that hoax.
