There's one about the uncle of kid with a round head who hired John Stamos to sing "Loving You" at a local football halftime show, only unbeknown to the opposing football team, he had rigged explosives to their school mascot, a jackass, set to explode when Stamos hit the highest note in the song.  This happened in a small redneck whitebread town in Colorado ...

Like almost every myth or legend of this type I am fairly sure that it does have roots in something true, however, like said myth legends there is no doubt that it has been changed and inflated through word of mouth retelling over time.

The best one I heard goes as follows:\n\nThere was a man in Las Vegas, who was vacationing there. He was staying in this hotel near the strip. He was in the bar of the hotel one night, and this woman kept staring at him. She wasn't smiling, nor flirting- just staring at him. So, his curiosity got the best of him, and he went over and began to talk with this mysterious woman. They had a few drinks together, and ended up going to his hotel room together. \n\nThe next thing the fellow remembered was waking up in his bathtub in the hotel room. He was nude, and the bathtub was filled with ice. There was a note and a telephone on the toilet seat- the note read "Call 911 now, or you will die". \n\nSo he reached up, and dialed 911 on the phone. He explained how he was positioned to the operator, and there was confusion for a bit. But eventually, the operator asked him a wierd question- the operator asked him to check and see if he had marks on his back. The man in the tub did have marks, that he could feel with his fingers. \n\nLater on, they found out that the man had been apparently drugged by the strange woman. She may have put something in his drinks. When he fell asleep, some 'street surgeon' cut his back open, and removed one of his kidneys...evidently to sell the kidney on the black market.\n\n*I did some research, and it turns out that this urban legend was a made up story. It didn't happen in real life.

You're pretty much on your own here, but treat any unsolicited email like anything you'd get in your paper mailbox:\n\nWhen in doubt, trash it.\n\nIf you want to check the validity of urban legends or odd stories sent to you, check the site below

One of the most enduring, and little-recognized, urban legends about cinema is the "snuff film," in which actresses are supposedly actually killed onscreen. Over the course of nearly a quarter century, the snuff film has transformed from grade-Z slasher film to hoax to anti-pornographers' straw man to urban legend, and shows no sign of slowing down.
