 definitely the watermelon seed one xD #6 about daddy long legs is a MYTH? I guess going through these i believed most of them ._. ahahaha #36?? Never heard that one before. I also believed "don't step on a crack or you'll break your mothers back!" I got mad at my mom alot so any crack i saw i'd stomp on, it never worked.

Your body remembers... I spent two days talking to a few friends and searching for these online, so the ones you haven't heard of are probably from other countries. At least, that's what I seem to have found! Also, which ones do you think are not myths? @Abbeysol I used to hear that too, and I never knew whether to believe it xD I just looked it up to check and indeed it looks like a myth! ...Even if your mind has forgotten. |

Your body remembers... I grew up catching frogs and toads, and I always got so scared when they peed on me. Turns out it's just a defense, but there's no special chemical. XD Parents say that so kids don't go picking them up! ...Even if your mind has forgotten. |

7. i realize this might not be completely true, but they do aid in growth and i actually know a couple of people (one i think had an eating disorder) that NEVER ate vegetables/drank milk/etc. and they've had pretty stunted growth. a girl i know literally looks like she's 12 and i'm pretty sure she's 18. 11. i know this can also vary from person to person, and some people may get tons of acne all the time no matter what while some could live in dirt and be fine. however, and for me this is the case , dirt and makeup etc. definitely result in breakouts, albeit relatively small. i can feel when my skin isn't clean though and if i don't wash it and fall asleep then you can definitely tell very soon after. cleaner skin almost always looks healthier. 41. "growling" from your stomach definitely means you're hungry, the walls of your stomach are ribbed and they were made to rub together when you're hungry to make noise and alert you to eat. this doesn't really include gurgling, etc. from digestion if that's the kind of stuff you were referring to.

I remember this kid told me once that eating the edges/crusts of slices of bread would make you hairy and so I refused to eat them for the longest time :p I don't think that's an ~urban myth~ or anything like that though lol, probably just something he told me to scare me. Last Edit by:

Your body remembers... The dog one is interesting o.o What ever gave you that idea? @EMILY 7. Of course it's a part of it, but it's nutrition in general. And when there's certain vegetables you don't want to eat it's what parents say to get you to eat them. "Spinach is what Popeye eats!" and such. Where as there are alternatives. xD So yeah partly true. 11. Dirt on skin can get in to pores technically, but only if you really don't wash. It's oily skin that mostly blocks pores, creating the build up UNDER the skin. So again, it varies, but you're not going to super break out if you get mud/dirt on your face while gardening is what it means I think. 41. That's... not true. xD;; I learned this in my Nutrition class in college (as very very boring class let me tell you!) See here. Stomach growling is the result of this process. Moving with those solid and liquid chyme ingredients are gasses and air. As all these ingredients get pushed around and broken down into easy-to-absorb bits, pockets of air and gas also get squeezed and create the noises we hear. Stomach growling can happen at any time -- not just when you're hungry -- but if there's food in your stomach or small intestine, the growling becomes quieter. It's like putting a pair of sneakers in the dryer by themselves versus with a load of towels. The towels muffle the noise of the shoes as they bounce around. But you may be wondering -- if your stomach is empty, why are the muscle contractions that digest food happening to begin with? The reason has to do with hunger and appetite. About two hours after your stomach empties itself, it begins to produce hormones that stimulate local nerves to send a message to the brain. The brain replies by signaling for the digestive muscles to restart the process of peristalsis. Two results occur: First, the contractions sweep up any remaining food that was missed the first time around. Second, the vibrations of an empty stomach make you hungry. Muscle contractions will come and go about every hour, generally lasting 10 to 20 minutes, until you eat again. ...Even if your mind has forgotten. |

I actullay still won't do the bloody mary one. I've never said it out loud and I never will... too superstitious, paranoid.
1. and one I remember when I was a kid.. if you pressed on your wrist, the number of bumps that appeared was how many children you were supposed to have. Used to play it when I was in elementary school all the time. 2. if you cut an apple in half, the number of seeds inside is equal to how many children you'll have. 3. Every time a person sneezes, an angel gets its wings. 4. Sneezing means a person is thinking of you/ talking of you. 5. chewing gum takes seven years to digest if swallowed. - Technically it works the same way as human waste and will eventually get expended out of the human system.. so the 7 years to digest is an old wives tale.

Your body remembers... I always wondered if the if the snake bite stuff was true. Most snake venom when injected would be less harmful, but either way it doesn't seem too safe lol @Ilya I didn't know that about cracking the knuckles! I knew the arthritis wasn't proven but there are indeed other effects when I looked it up! ...Even if your mind has forgotten. |

@RedSekhmet The 13 thing has a lot to do with Friday the 13th and a lot of bad events happening on them. there were 13 disiciples, and the last disciple ended up betraying Jesus.. Oh and the Knights Templar were arrested and abolished on October 13, 1307... so that's another one. Sorry, the historian in me started rambling when it saw that part... XD and @HocusPocus I used to be told that cracking knuckles would give you arthritis all the time as a kid because I was a pretty habitual knuckle cracker as a kid. The fact that apparently I was going to be arthritic as an adult as a result is what made me stop doing it all the time. XD .. I still do it occasionally though. Knuckle cracking does have other side effects though.. but only if you're doing it all the time. According to Discovery health it'll give you -soft tissue damage to the joint capsule and decrease in grip strength if done all the time. Also, a random one, but when I was a kid, my parents used to tell me that if I jumped constantly I'd get taller.. except I stopped growing when I was 10-11... right after hitting puberty. I'm 5'3".. yeah, my dad's advice to jump all the time so I'd grow didn't work. Granted, my parents usually were teasing me about being short when they did it, but I believed it.. didn't do me any good whatsoever. Last Edit by: User not found (1): Xin 8/13/12 - 4:14:36 am

Your body remembers... Oh wow I didn't even think of those things. xD And yeah I know, you always see it in the older movies! TV has been trying to kill us since forever. @Xin Why would a parent tell a kid that, usually they DON'T want them jumping all over the place! My mom's efforts to tell me that my aches and pains as a kid were "growing pains" never helped me at all. I didn't care in the least, I just wanted to be able to sleep! ...Even if your mind has forgotten. |

@HocusPocus
I was a pretty low-key kid though so I wasn't spazzing all over the place and if I jumped it was usually just in one place and not on a bed. XD Usually it was kind of an afterthought... hey you're short, try jumping, it'll make you taller. Quote: |
