    My wife told me that her mom told them that pencil erasers were made out of ant poop. Apparently, they used to eat the pencil erasers.


    My dad told me that I was black, and they adopted me and bleached me (I'm white), and my freckles were the spots they couldn't get out.

    He also told me that I had so many freckles it looked like someone threw **** at me through a screen.


    I love my dad. He's awesome.

    Wait. You left out the one where you once believed that Eddie Griffin was a future superstar in the NBA and was snubbed for not winning Rookie of the Year.

    ;)

    It was the Rookie vs. Sophs game, if I recall correctly. Hence, I registered in February.


    You're right, though. I really thought he was going to be a superstar.:(


    And it's also true - I was 14 when I signed up here.:cool:

    That when people got married the woman just magically gets pregnant, and that's how babies are made.

    When my trashy cousin got pregnant by some random ex-con I had to reexamine my thoughts on the issue.

    Yellow #5 was the culprit (which was found in Mountain Dew/Surge).

    Yep. I remember that rumor totally. I drank a lot of both as a kid. I guess it was just a rumor.
