    Default Is this an urban myth?

    *This may disturb some people*




















    Have you have heard of the boy who was taking an exam and got so stressed and worried that he stuck a pencil up each nostril and head-butted the table, thus driving the pencils into his brain and killing him.

    When ever I hear about it, it is always in another school/college a few years ago.

    Is it an urban myth or did it happen?

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Of indeterminate veracity, according to snopes. So, I'd say yes.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    I've heard that too.

    Ever hear the one of the girl who was bet she could not swallow a sausage whole? she choked to death on it. That one's actually true according to a friend of mine who said it happened in his cafeteria.

    Do either of you live in the north west of England/north of Wales.

    I wounder if it is a local myth or a national myth.

    I think it's a lot more widespread than that. I actually heard it in the north of Scotland.
