    Great idea for a thread. Although the sun one annoys me. Clearly it's yellow. The colour of something is determined by what colour you see when you view it, not what a scientist tells you it is, based on what can never be truly proven.

    Did you hear about that guy whose business was going bust? He was due to get a phone call at 4 o clock to tell him it had been saved but if no phone call came it meant the business was doomed and he had lost everything. 4 o clock came and no phone call so he went to the top of his building and jumped off. As he was passing his window, the phone was ringing.

    "Cannabis is a gateway drug".
    It goes like this:
    "Every junkie starts on cannabis, then they work their way on to harder and harder drugs so if they didn't smoke cannabis they won't have drug problems".

    No. Nonononononono.

    Only people who find that cannabis doesn't do it for them will work their way onto harder and harder drugs. Eventually they find one they like and stick with it, be that heroin, crack, ecstasy, bare knuckle fighting or Glenlivet.

    Toast always lands buttered side down. It might be true for you and me but it's actually a 50/50 chance.

    I remember seeing this proved a while back, it is to do with tables being the right height that the bread only manages half a rotation before it hits the floor, and therefore will more often falls butter side down then up. Their solution was very high tables or keeping your side butter side down on the plate. Maybe not dropping it also might help
    That's right. It seems when the BBC's QED programme de-bunked the theory they were throwing toast up in to the air. But if it just drops off a table it will land butter down 62% of the time.

    The classic student spending their student loan story: Something along the lines of them deciding to spend all their money on a speedboat, and then having to make money by pretending they had found objects in food, such as pubes in tuna etc, and writing off to the companies to get compensation. Heard this story from at least 4 people that gave talks at uni/school before I went, all of whom claimed it was their mate.

    Elvis DID NOT die on the toilet, he had a large reading chair in an annex room in his private bathroom, he was found wearing pyjamas (blue, see, we even know the colour) and dressing gown, face down in the carpet in a crouching position as he had fallen forward from the chair whilst reading...fact.

    Nah. That's the myth put about by Elvis fans. He died crawling away from the crapper mid-poo, "straining at stool".

    Bears can't run downhill...I saw one chase Anthony Hopkins down a hill the other week and if anything it was going even faster than on the flat. Would be more than annoyed to have that particular myth debunked in different circumstances.

    The myth that everyone who lives north of Watford has an outside toilet. I've lived up north for thirty five years and I have never used an outside toilet. Though I have pissed in a watering can in my shed once. Desperate times and all that.

    Shouldn't you be down t' pit?
