Urban myths are those stories that everyone has heard happened to 'a friend of a friend', but no one can really tell you exactly when it happened.
They are all things that should have happened - even if the didn't.
Here are a few examples.
Three motorcyclists on a long interstate trip. Long, lonely stretch of road, pitch-black moonless night. One rider gets a fair way ahead of his mates and decides to roar back with his light off, ride in between them and give them a fright. He sees the two motorcyclists' lights coming toward him and accelerates hard. Too late, he realizes that it's not his friends; they were passed by a car, which is now heading directly for him.
The caller claimed that a police officer friend had told him that seat belts CAUSE as many injuries as they prevent. He then went on to say that his friend had told him that the worst accident he had ever seen was one in which a young married couple and their two kids were burned to death in a fiery auto crash because they were unable to escape from their electronically-locked seat belt units.
Harrisburg, Pa. (AP) -- A man whose wife weighed twice as much as he did was squashed to death when she sat on him during a domestic quarrel, the Dauphin County coroner said Thursday.
Kay Weaver, 36, sat on her husband Kenneth, 41, for five to ten minutes in their rural home in nearby Elizabethville, said Dr. William B. Bush, the county coroner.
"The massive amount of pressure on his chest rendered him unable to breathe," said Bush, whose office conducted an autopsy and investigation. "Because of that, he suffocated."
State trooper Claude Mohr, who investigated the case, said Mrs. Weaver weighs about 280 pounds. Bush said the woman's husband was a "very small, very thin" man, weighing between 125 and 140 pounds.
Mrs. Weaver was not in custody and will probably not be charged, the trooper said. "She was trying to restrain her husband," Mohr said. "There's no indication there was any foul play intended."
Weaver came home drunk and in a bad mood at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, Mohr said. He soon went out again to go drinking and returned about 9 p.m. after running his truck into a ditch, the trooper said.
After Weaver "threatened to shoot the wife and two sons and burn the house down," his wife attempted to subdue him while a son was sent to get the state police, Mohr said.
Mohr said Weaver's drinking may have contributed to his death.
