When I was a kid, a friend told me that if you were moving at exactly midnight

you would turn to stone.

Once again, DU has helped me bust a myth.

1. Right. It's a pillar of salt that you turn into.

Ev'body know dat.

2. He told me a lot of weirder stuff than that.

Some of the sex stuff turned out to be true.

4. Only if someone behind you hollers

"Hey, it's midnight!" and you turn around to look at them.

8. Dang. I always get my magic spells and quantum physics mixed up.

And I'm not very good at crossword puzzles, either.

9. I walk down the sidewalk saying

Step on a crack
break bush's back!

I must have stomped on several thousand cracks but nothing happens to bush.
I think that myth is busted too.

10. Did you know if you put 5 quarters on the back of a wild tiger

exactly at 3:14 pm he won't eat you...It's true. :D

(maybe we can get a few freepers to bust the myth) :D

11. My dad told me, "if you put salt on a bird, they can't fly and you can catch them"

Being young and stupid, I went right out with the salt shaker. Yes, I was a gullible 6 year old.
