Urban Legends...

[gospursgojas]

Hey guys I was surfin the net and came across some urban legend sites, and that got me thinking about all the shit I hear and wondering if it were true.

Well known ones like:
Was Marilyn Manson really Paul from "The Wonder Years"?
Does Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" synch up with the "Wizard of Oz"?

And also local ones like:
The "Donkey Lady" and
Midget Mansion

Any UL's you guys would like to share???

The pink floyd song does match up with the wizard of oz, and the donkey lady, lives about 100 yards from my house, atleast she did when I was a kid.

Those aren't urban legends

[SpursFanDan]

Those are more like myths, urban legends are like you getting slipped a roofie, someone cuts out your liver, and you wake up in a tub of ice with a sign that says, "you're liver is gone". Something like that, it might not even be a liver, who knows its supposed to be a urban legends.

If you're really curious, watch the movie urban legends.

The Ghost Tracks are an Urban Legend.

The Llorona..

I used to travel back and forth from here to Houston alot and I would always point out to my fiance that one of the creeks had a funny name. Woman hollering creek. Then I heard about Llorona and suppoably the story behind the creek is that thats were some lady's child drowned and you can still hear calling out for him

[Cant_Be_Faded]

the pink floyd/wizard of oz thing shouldnt be considered an urban legend

[Dre_7]

Or the classic Mexican Hairless Dog(Rat) legend.

Babysitter takes LSD and bakes an infant in the oven instead of the turkey.

Alligators in NYC sewers.

Snakes in McDonalds ballpits.

AIDs needles in movie theater seats.

Killer calling the babysitter from upstairs.

Woman boils her insides in a tanning both.

Girl Microwaves her small dog to get it dry.

Etc, etc, etc. TLC used to have an Urban Legend program. Kinda interesting.

urban legend
n.

An apocryphal story involving incidents of the recent past, often including elements of humor and horror, that spreads quickly and is popularly believed to be true.

Well I don't know about american urban legends. Over here in Argentina, there are plenty of Urban legends. For example, there is one lake (more like a lagoon) that is situated about 250 km from Cordoba (a city). This lagoon is called "La laguna de los llantos" and its called that way because when the gauchos ride past the lagoon at night, you can hear what sounds like babies crying. This isn't really an urban legend since this does happen, however, its nothing ghostly or anything. The sound is created by the chorus of thousands of ducks that live in the lagoon. I suppose it was creepy for the local people though.

You do know all of that is untrue. No true hitting a school bus, no streets being named after the chidren, no ghosts pushing you.

The road leading up to the tracks is actually slanted forward but looks like it goes up hill. An illlusion.

Take a basketball and hold it where you would stop your car, let it go and the ball will roll down the street. The tracks have been debunked many times.

The names of the roads nearby are named after the developers family members.

Bride and Seek

During the wedding reception of a young couple, the guests decided to play a drunken game of hide and seek. It was decided that the groom was "it" and he eventually found everyone except his new bride.

The longer he searched the more frusturated he became and he was soon furious thinking she had left. He decided the game wasn't funny anymore and went home without his bride. As weeks went by, he accepted that she'd had second thoughts and went on with her life so he did the same.

A few years later a cleaning lady dusted off an old trunk in the attic of the building where the reception had taken place, out of curiosity she opened it.

Inside the trunk was the rotted body of the missing bride who'd apparently became locked in the trunk she'd chosen to hide in. Whether she'd suffocated or starved was unknown, but her face was frozen in a scream.

Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn on the Light?

Two college roommates were complete opposites, one liked to study while the other liked to party. In preparation for their upcoming midterms, the studious roommate (Jane) planned a Friday night of studying while the partier (Mary) decided to go to a frat party.

The two were friends, regardless of their differences, and while Mary got ready for the party, she tried to get Jane to go. Jane insisted on studying and Mary set out for the party. Jane agreed to leave the door unlocked, so that Mary wouldn't have to bring her keys.

While Mary was at the party, she met up with another group of friends and they convinced Mary to stay at their place for the night. Mary agreed but had to stop back at her room to get her keys. It was about 2 a.m. when Mary got back. She snuck in and grabbed her keys, leaving the lights off, not wanting to wake her roommate.

The next morning Mary walked home, intent to ask Jane for some study help. When she reached her room and opened the door she saw Jane murdered at her desk! Written on the wall in Jane's blood was "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?"

Which Tire?

Two students decide to go skiing for the weekend, and are having such a good time they decide to blow off the (calculus, I believe) exam that they have scheduled for Monday morning in order to get some final runs in before they head back to school. They decide to tell the prof that they got a flat tire and therefore deserve to take the exam at a rescheduled time.

Hearing the story, said professor agrees that it really was just bad luck, and of course they can take the exam later. At the appointed time, the prof greets them and places them in two separate rooms to take the exam.

The few questions on the first page are worth a minor 10% of the overall grade, and are quite easy. Each student grows progressively confident as they take the test, sure that they have gotten away with fooling the professor. However, when they turn to the second page they discover that they really haven't.

The only question on the page, worth 90% of the exam, reads: "Which tire?"

Does Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" synch up with the "Wizard of Oz"?



Try this one it's pretty neat
