If u stand on your head and drink a glass of water u get bigger breasts... I tried it, I almost drowned on 2 inches of water. Oh and that if you speak with you back facing someone about the weather, the wind will change and you become agrophoabic; I guess that would explain why I never go out anywhere tho

The fact that almost all people confuse myth's and legend with fables. And that is what they really should be called and urban fable. Why? because myth's and legends are born from true incidents and the truth about many of them have been lost in time and space. But a fable is based on a figment of someone imagination with little or no bases in facts.................. So urban fables is it true way to described them..............................

Also www.snopes.com/ is very good too.
