Monsanto corn pollen having any negative effect on Monarch butterflies. Well actually the urban legend is well known but the fact that it IS just an urban legend may not be. The USDA and the FDA - under Clinton - dispelled the myth.
Also there are the Teflon Birds - - - if you heat a Teflon pan to over 600 degrees it starts to give off fumes that could be a danger to very small birds if you have their cage right near the stove (which I'm not sure why you would anyway). But then, 600 degrees, that's self-cleaning. Aluminum fails at 600 degrees - ANY pan, Teflon or not, would give off nasty, dangerous fumes at 600 degrees. Libs are still angry about agent orange and so they're going to make up new crap about Dow.

I went to Middle Tennessee State University, and, supposedly there was a murder in one of the girls' dorms that was so brutal, the guy wrote a scary message in the two girls' blood on the wall, that cursed the dorm and did a ritual thing on the floor with all their clothes.
Turns out, it was MY dorm room!!
Urban legend, or very creepy thing that really happened?? Who knows? ( My grades really sucked that semester!)

My favorite is the one about the JATO Impala, but everyone's probably heard that one already.
A good place to look for information urban legends, myths, hoaxes, etc. is on snopes.com
