In retrospect, it was (and lots of kids I knew were CONVINCED this was true) that dick van dyke had to change his name from penis van lesbian. If you think about it for 5 seconds it makes no sense, why would his parents name him that and why would he pick a name that meant the same thing

that one is awful. most urban legends you can at least see the worried well-meaning adult trying to ward teens away from lovers' point or taking candy from strangers or whatever. the flashing headlights one, like, what is the point of scaring people away from performing a basic courtesy that makes everybody on the road safer?

Probably pencil and cum rocks making a huge scene. I don't remember any actual urban legend becoming a thing lest 90s influence made it that way.

If you swallow gum, you never poop it out. It just collects in your gut for several years before you blast a massive gum dookie from the buildup.

Xanthan gum, it never leaves your system, you can't digest it, therefore it just becomes a part of you and.

How is this supposed to work, anyway? I see a car without the headlights on and flash my lights and then the gang member is supposed to follow me home and kill me?

It kinda owns actually.

I would say the various "my uncle worked at Nintendo and..." fake cheats like finding Mew under the truck at the St Anne and the secret temple of light (?) in ocarina of time and whatever. Although the original Pokémon games did have some freaky weird glitches so it made things seem feasible.

if you rearrange the songs on the Tool album Lateralus in a different order based on some bizarre intepretation of the Fibonacci sequence you unlock the "real" album

also, Andrew WK is actually like three different people in some sort of "Dread Pirate Roberts" type scheme

Yes, that is the entire premise.

Flashing headlights is meant to warn people the other direction there's cops and/or a speed trap up ahead. It's a fundamental part of our road system (Aus).

Edit: it was probably the same in the US and the cops spread the myth of gang members so people wouldn't get warned and therefore they ticket people more.

Basically, yeah. The idea is that neferious gang members will go around without their headlights on and follow and kill the first person who flicks their high beams as some sort of initiation ritual.

The dumbest one I remember people believe is the "Advil in Coke" thing.

Did you ever go to Shadytown in Skillman? I think it was officially called Princeton Residential Psychiatric or something like that.

Edit: North Princeton Developmental Center, though it was a whole village that was at times a state run psychiatric hospital.
