Urban Legends

Urban legends always have people talking, people think of them as silly little wives tales created in someones endless boredom. Surprising enough some of them have a little bit of truth in them, and now I have gathered a list of some that haven't been proven wrong at least not yet.
While searching around on the computer i came across this little tale of a dastardly thief going against unbeatable odds to just show his skill.A man who had just recently restored a beautiful baby blue corvette decided there wasn't a chance he would allow it to get stolen.So he took some precautions to prevent the inevitable.He locked all the doors covered it in a tarp wrapped it with chains and locked his garage.He thought it was fool proof until the next morning.He woke up to find his car still there but turned around and a note left on the windshield saying "If we want it we can take it." The man mortified of course but that was the end of that story.My first thoughts were what thief would go through all that trouble for no reward.Any smart thief would have taken off with the car as fast as possible.
This next story is a short one of a lawyer showing how brave he was by hurling himself at a window of a skyscraper.Trying to show off to all his fellow employees. He asked for assistance in thinking of a way to show how brave he was when some one told him to hurl himself at the windows. He accepted the challenge got a running start and smashed into the glass.To everyone's surprise he had gone flying out to his death.I didn't believe this one at all and since a popular TV show the Mythbusters have already proved it wrong.
Now if anyone knows of these urban legends being fact or fiction please leave a comment doing so, and keep on reading my blog for the next mystery of the world.

  1. Reid. I find your blog extreamly entertaining. When I read it I can picture you talking. It's kind of funny. I don't know if any of those legends were true or false but I just wanted to comment your blog giving you some credit. And that car... When you say flipped over do you mean literally on it's back wheels up ? It's crazy how a theif could do that all by himself.
