Hey, sorry I haven’t friended you back with Flesh Socket yet… I’m having some trouble with the site. Parker, our drummer’d been administering it (not very well), and he’s without internet anymore, so it’s taking a lot more time to get it over to me than it ought to’ve. BUT I’m working on it, promise.

Hey, I started a rumor when I was deployed on the USS Nimitz in 2003 that even had the Captain of the ship thinking it might be true. It was unbelievable. From when I started it to the skipper putting it to rest took just over one week. The whole ship was talking about it. I completely fooled five thousand people.

what a great notion to perpetuate.. when i start working on my 5 hour zombie epic film, attraction to windchimes will definitely play an important role

For example: Strange U.F.O.’s were momentarily spotted during WWII by planes, it must’ve been time-travelers doing discreet operations, to subtly influence certain events without catastrophically changing history.

I once told the kids in my high school that the sky was blue because light reflected off of the oceans, and that without them the sky would be a greenish-brown color. Its been 6 years and some of my friends still believe it.

“Keine vergnügen ohne gefahr” No pleasure without danger. Slogan of Afri Cola and a true statement if ever there was one.

The only rumour i want to start is that panda and termites breed to make Pandamites, who hide underground and burn fossil fuels, causing global warming. also, they burp methane (termites do anyway), contributing more, AND they cause cancer because they ALL smoke, and it spreads everywhere and makes non-smokers breathe it. Also, cows are pirates, as they stole their methane supplies off the termites.
Well, there’s a 10% chance global warming ain’t our fault. Pandamites are the alternative.

“Of course Michelson Morley found that the coelestial aether was nonexistent. That’s because Tesla destroyed the aether in 1892, paving the way for his invention of the wireless telegraph (and, later, cellular phones).”

Just found a really good rumor about Nikolai Tesla:

Take a look at the 9th and 11th posts. It can’t possibly be true, but it’s still awesome.

really?, i think all your students will at least look back on it with wry humor, if not appreciation
maybe I’m just odd, but thinking the world is more dangerous also makes it seem just a little more beautiful

Thanks for the link.

Yes… I liked it. It made me laugh– a lot. We have a similar sense of humor– not so strange in the grand scheme of things, when you think about it… So don’t be too blown away- haha. I’ll check out the rest of your stuff and add you to my friends. myspace.com/imanecessaryevil.

Yay! I’m glad you like it. Some times I think that the things we do are only funny to us: it’s good to know that it’s actually funny, to a more general audience.

Flesh Socket actually, believe it or not, predates Dethklok. Though we can’t really be claimed to have influenced them… I think over the life of the band we’ve sold about a dozen CDs. Haha. Doesn’t stop us from making more! I’ll let you know when the CD this song’s on comes out: oughta be soon, I just need to finish the art for it, all the music’s done. I think Alf put up a couple more new ones on the myspace, if you’re interested: myspace.com/fleshsocket .

Man, I’m still shocked: you actually liked it?

I couldn’t stop laughing at this.

Zombie discrimination? It sounds like Dethklok but possibly even worse. Fantastic!

I think I’d really like to start spreading that one around here. I know just enough about random diseases and such that people might actually believe me.

Wind chimes, lol.
Let me tell you a story about my sister in law, the most sweetest lady you could ever meet.
One day she layed down to take a nap and just when she would doze off a slight breeze would blow outside setting off the wind chimes and waking her up. After about five times of this she finaly fiured she had had enough and she went outside and tore down every wind chime on her two porches and very satisfied, she went back inside to continue her nap.

My sister and I didn’t start a rumor, but we made up one of those kid songs, like “who stole a cookie from the cookie jar”, and when I hear kids singing it today, it’s very cool knowing that we made it up. And if you’re wondering what song it is, it’s one that starts out “There’s a place called mars, where they ladies smoke cigars…”.

Oh, Music for Zombies… It’s really just coincidence that we recorded this the day this comic came out: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/rooster/04%20Music%20for%20Zombies.mp3

Points if any one figures out who in the band is me. More points if anyone actually thinks it’s funny. [Warning, explicit lyrics, possibly offensive.]

Based on personal and anecdotal experience, I’d say this one is true. Its a sensation of a weird tingly heat, for lack of a better way to describe it. Then again, I also tend to crumple when someone pretends to punch me in the stomach, so I could just be extra sensitive and/or insane.

Or attempting to spread rumours about myself.

Someone you really abhor may be visiting soon, or an unholy pact has been made between two of your enemies, or perhaps something you just said may be not too far from the truth in reality.
