So... the Internet puts out loads of silly rumours on a daily basis... but these are a few things that existed mostly pre-internet... dumb shit that has ALL been proven to be false, but some people still insist that it's true... which one of these did you ever hear, if any?
Marilyn Manson is the speccy kid from 'The Wonder Years'.
A certain UK pop singer from the 80's had to have two pints of semen pumped out from his stomach.
If you drop a tooth into a glass of Coca-Cola overnight, it will completely dissolve.
Daddy Long Legs are one of the most venomous creatures on the planet, but us humans are safe because they don't have any fangs to bite us with.
The city of Nottingham has five women to every man.
Mama Cass, from The Mama's and The Papa's, died choking on a ham sandwich.
Elvis died on the toilet.
A certain actor, big in the 80's and 90's, was admitted to hospital to have a gerbil removed from his rectum.
Phil Collins wrote 'In The Air Tonight' after watching someone drown and fellow bystanders refused to help them... and he invited that same person to a gig and sang it to them, with a spotlight on.
And the one that really annoys me... after every terrorist attack over the last couple of decades, I've genuinely heard people (usually utter f-ing numpties) talk about how they really, honestly, knew someone who met (insert applicable racial stereotype here) who they were nice to for some kindness or other and were then told to stay away from (insert destination of subsequent terrorist attack on whatever date)... seriously, I first heard that after Warrington in 1993...
What fooking idiocy have you fellow intelligent folks ever heard reported as 'fact'?
-
Going slightly off course, was the whole 9/11 thing really totally done by terrorists or was there some truth behind some of the conspiracy theories. I used to think fck it was all done by terrorists these people who think otherwise are all nuts the us government or whoever would never kill all those people n cause all that devastation, mmm now I'm not so sure.
When you shave the hairs will grow in faster n thicker

That's true. I keep my other four in a storage unit in Derbyshire ::)
I have heard the "stay away from the such "n" such shopping centre" on the 19th of whatever rumour before. Also remember a good one involving a cyst on a FKC chicken leg mistaken for mayo doing the rounds in the past.

The onus is on anyone who thinks this, to come up with the evidence to show it. Good luck with that.

I'm a million miles away from being any expert n used to think people into conspiracy theories should get a life. Two worrying things on 9/11 I'm sure there is much more that can be explained both ways. The bbc reports building 7 has collapsed 20 minutes before it actually did, building 6 clearly has no rubble in the middle after collapse. Oh wasn't it weird the way the buildings fell almost like experts had planted explosives

Chinese takeaways selling cat n dog meat, when they can charge £7 for a curry n rice that probably costs about £2 max why would they.

The twin towers fell the way they did because their inner steel core melted, causing the buildings to implode rather than collapse.
There is also the theory that you can see controlled demolitions going off in several floors just before they came down... nope, those explosions of smoke were compressed air being blasted out of the towers from the floors above.
The BBC thing... yeah, that's odd and I'm pretty sure I read it being debunked, can't find the link at the moment, will get back to you.
I think that the whole conspiracy thing can be debunked for one simple reason... it would have taken hundreds, if not thousands, of people to pull it off and not ONE person has emerged in the subsequent 15 years..?
What I do believe, absolutely, is that the US government diverted their investigations from their Saudi pals (to protect the Bin Ladens) and used 9/11 as an excuse to pursue other vendettas... >:(

Ha! Never heard the elephant legs one before, that's brilliant!
Also heard something about a big bag full of cats heads been found in a dustbin in Manchesters 'Curry Mile'. Yeah, because any restaurant wanting to get their cleaniness rating from the local government wouldn't just use low-grade chicken instead... ::)

The BBC has a poor track record of accuracy in breaking news. Happened on 7/7 as well - poor accuracy as the story broke. People make mistakes.
On 9/11, the fire department knew WTC7 was doomed, as it had a serious fire, and no way of tackling, as the mains had been severed. They put a transit up, which is how they knew it was failing. They could see structural deformation due to the heat, and the twin towers had suffered similar fates, so it was hardly a surprise to them. They put the word out, and being a chaotic day, these things get misinterpreted. I mean how many of us actually knew which was WTC7?
building 6 clearly has no rubble in the middle after collapse.
Other than the debris inside you mean. It took a huge hit when the North tower went. Steelwork ripped through, and went through the floors. What would you expect when this happens? Given that its not something that happened before, I find it strange people point out these things are suspicious, I mean two of the biggest skyscrapers come down in an uncontrolled manner, take out multiple buildings around it in the process, and this is somehow a sign of something we haven't been shown?
Oh wasn't it weird the way the buildings fell almost like experts had planted explosives
Point to one controlled demolition of a large building where they start the collapse near the top, where a raging fire is occurring, and the building is allowed to take out multiple buildings around it. The twin towers came down as if they were fire damaged, as that is where the collapse started.
WTC7 collapsed due to fire, but the fire was more widespread. It also collapsed onto another building, but not in a catastrophic way.
Like I said, the onus is on you to supply evidence of anything you claim, but you have yet to supply any.
-

Slight nitpick....
They didn't melt.
6. What caused the collapses of WTC 1 and WTC 2?
Based on its comprehensive investigation, NIST concluded that the WTC towers collapsed because: (1) the impact of the planes severed and damaged support columns, dislodged fireproofing insulation coating the steel floor trusses and steel columns, and widely dispersed jet fuel over multiple floors; and (2) the subsequent unusually large number of jet-fuel ignited multi-floor fires (which reached temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius, or 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) significantly weakened the floors and columns with dislodged fireproofing to the point where floors sagged and pulled inward on the perimeter columns. This led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers. Both photographic and video evidence—as well as accounts from the New York City Police Department aviation unit during a half-hour period prior to collapse—support this sequence for each tower.
https://www.nist.gov/engineering-laboratory/faqs-nist-wtc-towers-investigation
The reason the steel didn't melt is that it didn't need to, as it would have only have had to reach about 600C before it has fraction of its normal strength, and it almost certainly exceeded this. The core, while weakened, was probably not the initial failure mechanism, going by the evidence available.

Well, if this is about myths and mythology, i have something interesting for you:
"In August this year I received a note requesting advice on a new project. As the project in question was rather unique in scope – dealing as it did with founding a new religious order or church – the signatories of the note requested that I preserve their anonymity should I decide to report on their activities. Doing so would be quite welcome, though, “to gain first insights into the potential reach of such a project.” The note continued:
“Now that almost 15 years have passed and the crimes of September 11, 2001, have yet to be prosecuted or the true perpetrators and instigators of the crime identified and named, investigations that deserve that name cannot be expected to happen for decades yet. As understandable and as legitimate as it may be to continue demanding the truth about 9/11 and for a decent crime investigation into the gruesome mass murder that happened on that day, it is unfortunately just as illusory and unrealistic to expect the demands to be met in real life. Given that the official legends promulgated by governments and media alike are thus going to continue to stand as truths, realpolitik tells us that rational arguments are no longer any use against them. Wherever legends have become official “true history” and have been declared state creeds on which governments base their power politics, rational critique has become obsolete.
It is for these reasons that we propose to found a new creed that states clearly its unshakable belief in the official stories of 9/11 and which celebrates the miraculous promotion of these myths to the ranks of solidly governmentally verified truths. As this involves in part violations of the laws of nature and statistics as well as those of logic or common sense, we have decided on a working title of “Church of Free Fall” for our project. We are working to achieve official recognition as a religious order for the “C. o. F. F.”. The C.o.F.F. – despite originating as a secular “knowledge community” -has its very own founding myths and miracles that are in no way inferior to those of established churches, as its Credo as attached below amply demonstrates. The Credo has been adopted officially by the International Section of the preliminary C.o.F.F. Episcopate, to serve as a firm foundation of the religious community.
Further extensions of the Credo, including additional fundamental beliefs, dogmas, and rituals, are currently under development. The C.o.F.F. Credo bows to a realpolitik of war, observation, and “security” that has arisen from the dust and ashes of the WTC towers. The C.o.F.F. replaces strength-by-refusal with the joy of affirmation, celebrates the insanity of reality as well as the truly just Great War on Terror. Instead of fighting its enemies, the C.o.F.F. embraces its enemy in a stranglehold. You are welcome to publish our manifest.”
Which I will do forthwith:
We trust in the one suitcase of 200
Which got left at the gate
And which revealed all the proof
We might ever have needed:
Teaching videos on how to fly a Boeing plane,
Instructions for airplane hijackers,
A Hamburg, Germany, registration form,
A diploma granted by the Technical University of Hamburg,
And the Final Will and Testament of Mohammed Atta,
The “Leader” of the hijackers.
We believe
That that man wished to carry his testament
With him onto his suicide mission,
Just in case his deadly flight
Failed to end in an enormous ball of fire.
Or because he figured
His testament naturally indestructible,
Just like the passport of his fellow hijacker Al Sugami
That was discovered unscathed next to the WTC.
We believe
That two airplanes are able to
Bring down three skyscrapers
The first time ever in the history of construction
That steel framed skyscrapers became
Pulverized by burgeoning fires alone,
While a plastic-and-paper passport
Is able to survive the inferno unscathed.
We believe
In the Free Fall
In which burning office furniture
Brought down WTC7 so fast
That the BBC was able to report it
20 minutes beforehand.
We believe
That Hani Hanjour might have been bad at flying small aircraft,
Bad enough for the rental agency to refuse to rent him a Cessna,
But that he did succeed in hitting the Pentagon
From behind at ten feet above the ground
Descending with a jumbo jet at 500 mph
In an ingenious curve around the building.
We believe
That he did not just keep on flying straight
Into the offices of the Pentagon Chiefs
Because he wished to make air navigation history
Through an ingenious maneuver taking him
“Once around the most highly secured building of the world”
Along with aces of the air like the Red Baron before him.
We believe
That the total absence of an air defense
Not just above the Pentagon
But above the entire U.S. air space
Had nothing whatsoever to do
With the “war games” that
Were taking place that morning.
We believe
That “nobody could ever have imagined
That terrorists would ever fly a hijacked plane into a building” (CONDOLEZZA RICE)
Despite the fact that these war games
Were using as a war scenario precisely what was happening that day,
Namely the hijacking of passenger airplanes.
We believe
That Osama Bin Laden masterminded this
“Surprise attack” from a cave in Afghanistan
Even when the FBI announces it has no proof of his complicity in the attack,
And even when he himself refused to take any credit whatsoever for
Taking part in that particular act of terror
In his first interview after, on Sept. 18, 2001.
We believe
That he and his 19 “hijackers”, armed with nothing but box cutters,
Were solely responsible for succeeding in this attack,
Despite the fact that due to totally bogus visas
15 of them would never even have reached U.S. soil
Had not the U.S. Consulate in Jidda, Saudi Arabia,
Simply waved through the lot of them.
We believe
That the CIA never had any idea of this
Even if a visa official of that consulate,
Michael Springman, became a whistleblower
Because his office was constantly being used
To funnel suspicious Arab “freedom fighters”
Into the U.S.A.
We believe
That the Saudi security service had no idea either
And that it was purely as an act of charity
That the “terror logistics expert” Al Midhar
And his colleague Al Hazmi received
Monthly stipends from the wife of Royal Ambassador to the U.S.,
Prince Bandar, during their stay in San Diego.
We believe
That the Pakistani secret service had nothing to do with 9/11 either,
Whose chief, General Ahmad, was having breakfast in Washington on 9/11
With the heads of the secret service oversight committees of
House and Senate, Bob Graham and Porter Goss,
And who shortly after resigned without a word
When word got out that his secret agent Omar Saeed Sheikh
Transferred 100,000 U.S. Dollars of funds to Mohammed Atta.
We believe
That neither was Israel’s Mossad involved
Even if five of its agents were arrested in New York City
Filming themselves triumphing and showing victory signs
With the WTC towers burning in the background
Only to claim on a TV talk show in their home country,
Where they had quietly been deported to,
They had been in New York City “to document the events”.
We believe
That it was simply a hugely unlucky chain of events
That all these ever vigilant secret services “failed” their duties
And a truly unlucky chain of unlucky events that enabled
Osama and his 19 box cutter wielding hijackers
To pulverize three skyscrapers all by themselves
And to murder 3000 people.
We believe
In George W. Bush’s warning to the United Nations General Assembly:
“We must speak the truth about terror.
Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories
concerning the attacks of September the 11th;
malicious lies that attempt
to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves,
away from the guilty.” ( <http://www.state.gov/p/io/potusunga/207556.htm> )
We believe
That only malicious liars, outrageous conspiracy theorists,
Intolerable anti-Semites and notorious anti-Americans,
Enemies of freedom and friends of terrorism
Can deny the truths of the 9/11 Commission’s Final Report
After all, it includes the undeniable confessions of an accomplice
By the name of Khalid Sheikh Mohamed.
We believe
In the truth of these confessions
Even if they were extracted in 182 torture sessions
During which the prisoner was subjected to waterboarding
Because only malicious heretics and crazy conspiracy theorists
Who also believe in aliens from outer space or who have been infested by the devil
Would question the investigations into 9/11
Or much less request a completely new re-investigation.
We believe
In our democratic media of repute
Who recognize the divisive poison in these doubts
And pillory those who heinously try to spread it
To strengthen the belief of our Brothers and Sisters
In the Holy Script of the 9/11 Report
And in our governing bodies that proclaim it
In defense of our freedom and security.
Let us therefore pray:
Our 9/11
Thou camest from out of the blue sky
Hallowed be thy name
Thy GWOT* has come
Whose will be done
With drones in the heavens
As it is with wars on Earth.
Give us this day our daily budgets
(the fall of the Soviet Union had put those very much in question, after all)
And never forgive a terrorist
As thy GWOT* just keeps on
Creating new ones daily
And lead us not into temptation
To deliver ourselves from the evils of a war
Without end and without an end,
For thine is the imperial kingdom
And the military power
And “Full Spectrum Dominance”
For ever
Amen.
*Great War On Terror

Thanks cthulhu.
CTs were always faith based.
Edit:
Seriously though, 9/11 truthers peaked in 2006, which just happened to be around the time when youtube really took off. This was not a coincidence, as it was a major catalyst for all that manipulated information, (often with scary music just to reinforce the point).
Ever known youtube to be a good source of scientific evidence? Me neither.
Now, 10 years later, the 9/11 truthers are a tiny number, as their pet ideas have been taken apart so many times. People eventually realise how none of it actually has any substance, and any actual evidence just isn't there. Nothing in your post is actually new. Its been debunked before, again and again.

Blimey, some pretty intense opinions about 9/11! I agree that the BBC thing was probably just misinformation.

Had forgotten all about that one! My older brother, himself a later product of the show and its era, always cranked those out regularly, along with Barney's Ass (Barnabas - no reflection of Barney Sumner, I'm sure) and the innocent enough named, for the times, Willy.

We were brought up in the church, so I would have to give the creation according to the bible an honorable mention and indeed the rest of it, a lot of which I can no longer remember, although I did used to wonder how you got two grizzly bears onto an ark. I haven't read any other 'holy' books.

Just remembered another one... you can see the ghost of a murdered child in one scene from 'Three Men And A Baby'... ::)
