What is the best way to start an urban legend,  akin to the "spider eggs in bubble yum" of 1970's
955124
The more details, the better.  And an urban legend that has a hint of truth makes it more believable.  \n\nI would say the BEST way to spread it is through emails.  Make one that looks like it has been forwarded all over the place (in other words, so it doesn't look like it started with YOU).  Give a hyperlink that offers information- you can make your own official-looking website, just give it an official-sounding name.  And say something in the email like "Oh my God, I didn't think it was true, but I started looking around and it IS!"  Don't know how you would track it, though.\n\nJust make sure you create a story that can't get you in trouble- no truly serious health scares, no negatives associated with big brands, etc.  eg-  Dr. Pepper causes kidney failure (bad).  Tap water causes yellow finger nails (better).\n\nGood luck!

I had to do this twice, and I did the same thing both times and was very successful. Fill a cardboard box with cotton balls, take your egg and put in a plastic bag, then put that in another bag, that in another, and that in another several times. Put the egg in the box, and put some more cotton balls on the top of it to protect all sides of it. Duct tape shut.

My best prank was this:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/?v=2B8trGF58bY\n\nWatch it and tell me what you think about it. Don't forget to read the story about the video first.

Myth: Spiders can lay their eggs under human skin in wounds created by their bites.\n\nFact: In a surprisingly widespread urban legend, a nameless woman is bitten by a spider (usually on her cheek) while on vacation. She later develops a swelling, from which, in due course, baby spiders emerge! Somehow or other, the venom must have transformed into eggs. Spiders, need I say, do not find the human body a suitable site for egglaying, and no actual case anything like this can be found anywhere in scientific or medical literature.\n\nThat is, unless you count as scientific literature the book Dancing Naked in the Mind Field by Nobel Prize chemist Kary Mullis. In one chapter, Mullis claims to have been bitten by a brown recluse spider in California (where no such spiders exist), that other spiders came back to feed on the resulting wound, and that female brown recluses feed their babies from such wounds. All this is sheer fantasy. As the name implies, real recluse spiders avoid humans like the plague if at all possible

OOO I have some great ones....I'm graduating in 2 days, and we all had a senior prank meeting, to see what we're gonna do... here are the best ones:\n\n1. Get 4 small or medium sized pigs. Yes, pigs. You oil them up with baby oil, use as much as possible. Then with black paint, you number them with HUGE numbers....."1", then "2", then "3", then "5".....The way that we did it is by putting one pig on each floor and then one in the gymnasium. So the teachers can't catch or get a hold of the pigs because they're all oiled up! And they'll always be looking for pig #4 ! Hahahaha, hilarious......\n\n2. If you go to one of those party suppliers, or novelty gift places, you could special order thousands of those small bouncy balls. When we checked the prices, they were about 1 gross for like ten bucks....which is a great price. The seniors last year bought six thousand of those bouncy balls and let them loose in the hallway stairs....and they never stop bouncing! Go to youtube.com and search for bouncy ball prank, here are some great videos!\n\n3. A couple years back, some seniors bought chickens, and roosters, and ducks and let them loose all over the school....But that's been done time and time again.....\n\n4. Something that will probably get you suspended: We were thinking about this wonderful step by step tutorial:\n        First, you take a syringe, the kind you can buy from a pharmacy. Then you suck all the yolk out of an egg, which will take some time, believe me....when you're doen with that, you take a new syringe, and pump NAIR hair remover into the empty shell of the egg.....tape the little hole of the egg. Repeat until you have about 3 dozen eggs. then aim, shoot, and a good few people will have patches on their heads....or just a big mess on the school's lawn....\nNote: you could also replace with bleach, stink bomb fluid, paint (in your school's colors), piss, get creative....\n\n5. Throw tons of fish in the pool.....\n\n6. DYE the pool.....AND put fish in it.....\n\n7. Steal tons of FOR SALE signs from people's houses, and post them up all over the school lawn.........\n\n8. Send out a letter to every student's parents in the school (there's always a student who works in the main office....bribe her) before prom....saying that "contraceptives in the form of condoms will be distributed before, during, and after the prom" and to send back the bottom fill-in portion of the letter to confirm their approval. Sign in your principal's name and signature. Sweet.\n\n9. Conduct a bake sale with "special brownies", lol.....

Bunnyman: This one is crazy!\n\n\nThe Bunnyman is an urban legend based in Clifton in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. The stories in the legend can be wide in variance from the origin of the killer, names, transportation changes, the killer's motives, the weapon(s) of choice, the design or color of the "bunny suit," and the possible demise of the killer. The killer's ghost or aging spectre comes out to the place of death each year on Halloween to commemorate its untimely demise. Sometimes victim's carcasses are left in varying states of death including being skinned, gutted, and occasionally victims appearing with horns fashioned out of deer antlers or sticks protuding from the head.\n\nClick on the link for more info.

Visit Orientals.com and purchase some goodie bags and fill it with Valentine's Day pencils, bookmarks and other useful Valentine's Day motifs and don't forget to add a sweet or two like their Heart-shaped swirl pops.  I used to work in a Public Library and I was a Story Hour teacher.  I used to buy from Oriental.com and ordered many items to use as prizes and give-away to the children of Story Hour. They loved it and their prices are incredible!

I would call your City Hall (the Mayor's office) and ask to talked to the City's Board for the Handicapped.. Call them and ask them if there is a special Easter Egg hunt in the City.. or scheduled someplace in the City that you are.

Obviously there are all the potential topics listed above, but these can sometimes be difficult to prove beyond personal feelings.  Something that can be easier and more fun to prove or disprove, are historical debates and conspiracies, such as, "Was their a second shooter at the JFK assassination?  If so, from where did they shoot?  Did Oswald actually do anything or was he a scapegoat?  Was their a mass conspiracy?  If so, did it involve the American government?"  You can talk about the existence of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or aliens.  Maybe you'd rather talk about the different theories on how people got to the Americas or the Polynesian Islands.  Who was Jack the Ripper?  Did Shakespeare write his own plays?  Did the girls who accused the "witches" in Salem Village make everything up, eat rye infected by the fungus used to make LSD or suffer from clinical hysteria?  Did St. Patrick really exist?  Did King Arthur really exist?  Did Walt Disney have himself criogenically frozen?  Did Irish explorers reach the Americas in small boats?  Did a Welsh man reach the Americas long before Colombus and teach some Indian villages Welsh?  There are so many wonderful historical myths and theories to explore, which can be more fun for you and refreshing and interesting for your teacher to grade.  I hope this helped!

buy out the complete space on the first page of leading local news paper. let the firs place be complete blank except for u store name xyz printed along with logo.....then buy out half of the second or last page and then advertise saying "what could be more buzzing news than xyz comming up in your city"? i think u could rephrase my words. this is just an idea. so instaed of scattering ur money by advrtsing in different ways when u sharply focus this way it will have the greates impact. and in a day all ppl would come to know that xyz exists and it opens. u not only create brand awareness by doing s but also u create brand image - surprising ppl. this is not myy craetive idea. nestle did the same when it launched its chocolate in india. one day and every body came to know what NESTLE is.

Mythbusters did an experiment on this...\n\nFrom their website....\nEpisode 23: Exploding House\nJust how hard is it to find a needle in a haystack? Egos fly as the MythBusters get competitive creating the supreme needle-finding machine. Then, returning to their familiar territory of blowing stuff up in the name of science, Jamie and Adam arm themselves with roach foggers and an abandoned apartment building to find out if toxic fumes and bug bombs really are an explosive combination. Finally, the MythBuilders hit the roof to prove whether or not whispering sweet nothings to your plants is the secret to gardening success.\npremiere: Nov. 16, 2004\n\nThey actually found that playing hard rock was better than classical. (something to do with bass?) And all forms of music and talking are better than no noise at all. Based on what they learned and what I saw on the show I don't think it's the emotions persay but the sound itself....

=_= I remember those pranking days.. I got into so much trouble lol... but... half of the time, I wasn't discovered ^.^\n\nHere are a few rules:\n1. Never give urself away by laughing\n2. Make sure you keep a straight face when telling a lie on fools day or when pulling off a prank\n3. If you know you're going to get into trouble, make sure it's worth it xD\n\nOnce you're all set, here are a few I've pulled:\n\n1. Buy a pregnancy test thing (you know, those white things with the plus or minus sign once you test?) Anyway, take the test, and when it shows the result, (most likely a minus, right? =3 ) ok, so u'll see the result as a certain color... take a marker... and turn that answer into a possitive... <_< if ur parents will kill you for it, use this prank on your friends or something >_< it works all the time xD\n\n2. A plastic bug that looks real... nuff said... if u want an example... =3 alrighty then: take a lil bug, maybe ten or fifty.. lmao.. stuff them under someone's bed, spread them around, and turn off the lights... but some ppl's beds are dark underneath anyway, so it'll be ok. next, bring in whoever that victim is.. n tell them about it.. i did this prank to my mom and she ended up grabbing a pan and tried killing the bugs- they're rubber material made them jump around, so it took her a while to realize they were fake xD\n\n3. here's a simple one-- hide behind a wall or in a closet-- when the person comes close, jump out and yell out loud.. i mean REAAAALLY loud-- just make sure the person doesn't get a heart attack from it <_<\n\n4. Go to some awesome prank shop-- like spencers (hot topic has some random stuff too) and buy the false cigar-- it glows and it spouts powder to make it look like it's smoking-- ur all set. ^-^\n\n5. If you really want crazy pranks... here's a wonderful page: http://www.zug.com/pranks.html (they have ones that can get u in major trouble-- and ones that are just funny little jokes)
