Here are some of my favorite!
1. It takes seven years for gum to pass through the human digestive system. False! Gum is just like any other food. 2. Disney's Belle from Beauty and the Beast makes a cameo appearance in the The Hunchback of Notre Dame. True! If you look closely at the picture you can see her in the bottom right corner. 3. Lemmings commit suicide by jumping off cliffs. False! These poor little things were forced to jump to help make a Disney movie back in the 50's. 4. Birds can steal coins out of machines. True! I didn't believe it until I saw these pictures. 5. A picture of a fox standing in a pack of dogs. This is false. The picture is a photoshop. But still it looks awesome! 6. A twister ripped through a drive in theatre that was playing the movie Twister. This is false. Thought it would have been poetic. :) 7. A second-hand coat purchased for the Wizard of Oz was later discovered to have been owned by L. Frank Baum. True! 8. A ghost appears in the movie Three Men and a Baby. This is false. Though the first time I saw the picture it creeped me out. 9. An abused goat killed it's owner. True! Don't anger the goats... 10. The book/movie The Amityville Horror is based on a true story. False! The book was good, the movie...not so much. 11. A hitchhiker is picked up and dropped off, only to be learned later that she died years ago. False! I first heard this one at Girl Guide camp when I was eleven. Still a classic. 12. Poorly translated instructions for a game. True! I'm sure there are tones of other examples of this out there. But this cracks me up! 13. Chihuahuas are actually a type of rodent bred to resemble dogs. False! I may not like them, but they are still dogs. :) Links to other Thursday Thirteens! |

Happy New Year to all of you
P.S: My list is up too! Please visit Sweet like Kitty
Great list!
Terrific list, Christine!! Thanks for clearing up some of my long-held misconceptions...
I'm crushed that the hitchhiker story was untrue. In fact, I'm pouting.
Funny and very interesting! I'll have to check out Snopes!
My TT is about the year 2007.
Great list! I've always wondered about that 3 Men and a Baby one. Spooky!
Oof! Wow, don't make the goats mad...but you shouldn't abuse animals in the first place.
I've seen that picture of the Starling stealing the coins...those are some smart birds.
My 13 are up.
I loved your list!
What a great TT!
Thanks for sharing them with us
Have a wonderful Thursday
My TT is posted
Great TT, I am appalled by the thought of Disney killing Lemmings, and the Wizard of Oz thing is way to cool!
Great list! Snopes is such a useful and interesting site. I was aware of some of the urban legends you list (and whether or not they were true) but not all of them.
Happy TT. :)
I love Snopes! My dad is always forwarding me all sorts of bizarre e-mail, and it only takes a moment to prove it's false. Happy TT!
Ice-cream-maker and weight loosing can go together! For that you can make your own recipes!

A delicious bowl of vanilla-icecream!!! =)
Hugs,

Very interesting list Christine! My favorite was the one about the birds stealing coins. I'm going to have to check Snopes out.
Happy Thursday!
I loved this TT, I'd heard some of them before but not others.
Fascinating stuff--truly!
But are you 100% sure about #13??? I've certainly had my suspicions...
Hee! I love these. I did a couple TTs based on Snopes already--it's such a fun site to browse.
And those instructions crack me up.
What an awesome TT!!! I loved these! Thanks!
Great list. I need to watch The Hunchback.
Some of the urban legend stories used to scare the crap out of me when I was teen.
And Snopes is fabulous for debunking a lot of those myths!
Great TT!
These are hilarious! I did believe the Amytville HOrror was true also. Hmm. Very interesting stuff. :-)
Wow! What a great list!!
My TT's up!
Wow, what an awesome list! I love, love, love Snopes. :)
We've got a goat that would kill you if she could... no surprise there!!
Thanks for stopping by; you should definetly take a look at it; it's a simple way to earn some money through blogging!
What a clever list this is! Loved it!
I have never been to Snopes but hear so much about it I'll have to fix that ASAP.
oh, great list. Scopes always has interesting stuff. Thanks for the info!
this is great.
the jury is still out for me on the amityville horror story...for me...just being based on true events makes it slightly scary. there was a defeo family. he did kill his family and another family moved in...it's creepy no matter what parts were true and what parts were imagined!
