Title: Quick Urban Legends
Post by: PPI Tim on August 31, 2009, 12:48:16 PM
From the Book of 666 Absolutely true stories, here are three quick urban legends,

Mel Blanc, who did the voice for Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots.

Marilyn Monroe never wore open-toed sandals because she had six toes on each foot.

When read by Arab speakers right to left, the Coca-Cola logo expresses an anti-Islamic message, which explains why the beverage never caught on in the Muslum world.

That is a funky rumor about Marilyn.
There are so many photos of her wearing  open toed shoes and being bare foot.
How did that urban legend come about!?? Heh

How does anything become an urban cowboy?  I mean legend.

I think it starts like something on Facebook.  You know, "Post the Color of your (insert undergarment here), Post a photo of your look alike".  And so on and so on.  Someone says it and before you know it, it takes on a life of it's own.

I found that story in a book of Urban Legends. My guess is that she did have six toes but had the extra toe removed so she would only have ten.

And thus begins the quest for Miss Monroe's sixth toe.  The truth is out there.   ;)

It is really called, "The missing toe of Norma Jean".
