They told me I'd never get out of that cage, and free from the basement darkness and freezing temperatures. Here I am, bitches. Obviously a myth.

If you don't eat crusts, you will never have curly
If you swallow chewing gum it wraps round your heart (bit evil that one)

If you kiss too many girls, you're teeth will fall out.
I think this is why I'm gay.

It's not really a myth, but when I was about 5, I ate chicken soup for lunch, then a few days later I got chicken pox. I didn't eat chicken soup till I was about 16 after that. Bizarre.
