POPSThe 5 Creepiest Urban Legends (That Happen to be True) It makes sense if you think about it. The closet and under the bed are the two most popular places to hide just about anything, so it's not surprising a hell of a lot of corpses end up there as well. In fact, the odds are pretty good that at least once a guy has killed a prostitute, tried to stuff her under the bed, only to find there was already a body there.

POPSFreezing / Microwaving Plastic Containers Releases Cancer-Causing Dioxin Someone in my family recently died of cancer. So naturally, we all became a little more serious about collecting information on its causes. I remember something about how freezing water in plastic bottles releases dioxin and that it was purported to have come from John’s Hopkins. Well, come to find out the claim falsely used Johns Hopkins as the source. Freezing water in plastic bottles does not release dioxin. Neither does using plastic to heat food in a microwave. However, there is still a question about heating fatty foods in plastic containers. Also, I learned recently that using those ‘one-use’ type plastic containers in which butter, whipping cream, etc are sold should never be used in a microwave. To be safe you really should use only glass. Just thought you might want to know.

Urban legends, ghostly sightings and tales of supernatural intervention have grown far beyond what anybody in 19th century South Devon could have imagined for the lowly manservant.

POPSScary Urban Legends - Friday the 13th If you fear Friday the 13th, then batten down the hatches. This week's unlucky day is the first of three this year. The next Friday the 13th comes in March, followed by Nov. 13. Such a triple whammy comes around only every 11 years, said Thomas Fernsler, a math specialist at the University of Delaware who has studied the number 13 for more than 20 years.

POPSWhat Will They Come Up With Next??? I LOVE Snopes.com...If you get an email that is just too weird, too good to be true, just too awful...it's usually bogus. Every once in a while, something is actually true, or a mixture of truth and lies. Snopes checks them out and tells the truth. It's a fun site just to play around on when nothing else catches your interest. Enjoy.

POPSScary Urban Legends - Bloody Mary Some of my friends, five of us, cramped ourselves into a small bathroom in my friend Cathryn's House. We ended up saying Bloody Mary (more like chanting it) about 20 times or so for anything to appear. When we did finally see something it started out as a green glow then the darkenened portrait of a face became more visible, by that time half of us were screaming so we knocked each other down trying to get out of the bathroom and then I flipped

POPSPalin Target of Email Smear Campaign Emery is internet folklorist David Emery. Don't you just love the irony here? Sooner or later, someone's going to get everything all screwed up and people will start believing that Palin's a secret Muslim and Obama pretended to give birth to Bristol Palin's baby. Just stick to the stuff in the newspapers, people. Everything else is probably crap. There are enough real problems with Sarah Palin; there's no reason to make stuff up.

POPSObama born to Muslim Martians!
Hey, believe that and I've got a bridge on the MOON to sell ya! Good Gobbly Goop, there are too many gullibles in the USA. Sometimes, I get a notion to post on the Internet, something so outrageous, that only a person living on some mountaintop without any info at hand and with an IQ of minus 10, could believe. Just to see how breakneck fast it would go from computer to computer. Then I’ll sit back and listen to the, collective shouts of the 'Uninformed" yelling, "I TOLD YOU SO, I KNEW OBAMA WAS A DIRTY WHATCHAMACALLIT!" We sure are a nation of nincompoops (Well, too many, anyhow.). It's scary, that countless "informationally challenged" will vote for a USA president, based on rumors and negative hearsay of the opposition. What's so stressful, is that not only they, will live with the consequences but the rest of us who have half a brain will also have to live with their boneheaded mindsets. Just for fun, let's have another 8 years of Dubya to see what how low we could go. :eek:

POPSOuter-space sex For all these reasons, Logan said spontaneous sex in space could be "a little underwhelming." "It's a pretty messy environment, when you think about it," he said. "And for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However ... I can well imagine how compelling, inspiring, and quite frankly stimulating choreographed sex in zero-G might be in the hands of a skilled and talented cinematographer with appropriate lighting and music." When the crowd tittered, Logan added, "I'm not kidding: Sex in zero-G is going to have to be more or less choreographed. Otherwise it's just going to be a wild flail."
