Cats will Steal Your Breath - Cats shouldn't be left alone with babies because they stick their noses in the baby's mouth and suck the baby's breath out. This is one of those old wives tales. Cats can however sufficate babies. But they don't suck out their breath. They like to get close to the warmth of their breath, and end up sleeping on their face. It also used to explain SIDS.

Killer Toilet Spiders - There is a spider called the South American Blush Spider that had hospitalized atleast 3 people in the Chicago area. The spiders would seek out damp cool places to nest, and the inside rim of the toilet was a great place. If you look it up, the only blush spider I found described to a small patch of varicose veins.

Worms - A mentally ill woman who didn't have great housekeeping skills had a lot of pets, mostly cats. The animals would go the bathroom where ever they wanted, when ever they wanted. They would usually go in the bedrooms of her three children. The woman's oldest son had gotten a worm egg is his eye from all the animal waste. The egg hatched and started eating the boy's eye, causing serious infections and the eye sunk back in his head. When the boy was finally taken to the doctors, the looked in his eye and saw that the worm had laid its own eggs. The worm along with the eggs were removed but the boy had his eye replaced with a glass eye. Soon after the children were taken from the house.

Sewer Gators - It used to be ok to buy baby alligators for a few dollars in Florida and Georgia. Many were bought and sold with out thinking of how hard it is to take care of an alligator. Hundreds of small alligators were then flushed down toilets or setfree to soon end up in city sewers. The alligators soon adapted to the environments of the sewers and lived to grow to full adult alligators. It became to the alligators being albinos who were blind from lack of light and they were said to have grow much larger than the "normal" alligators. Sewer workers, bums, or children who were in the sewers would dissappear when the rats were getting too few.

Rabbit Dried - A boy ran into his house one day yelling that his dog had just killed the neighbor's rabbit. The dad wanted to avoid the conflict it would bring. So he picked up the dead rabbit, gave it a bath and blow dried it's hair. He then snuck over to the neighbor's yard and put the rabbit back in the cage. When he returned home later that day he noticed a few police cars at the neighbor's house. Worried about what was going on, he asked the police. They had told him that some sick person had dug up his neighbor's dead rabbit, cleaned it, and blow dried it's fur...

Hot Dog - An old woman had just given her small dog a bath. Then she had an idea to dry him off in her new mircowave. She figured it would be ok to do since the microwave didn't seem to get that hot. She put him in for 5 minutes, the poor dog had then exploded.

Spider Bee-Hive - Once a girl back in the day of the bee-hive hair dues had always spent a lot of time fixing her hair. She decided it would be easier to get it to stay and not wash her hair. She slept in it every night and never once took it down. One day while getting ready for work, she noticed a small spider on her forehead. She started to pull her hair down and moving it around. Durning the night while she had slept one night, a spider had climbed into her hair and it had laid it's eggs in her hair. This is also told that one day while in school blood dripped down her forehead. She was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced dead. Same thing that a spider had laid it's eggs in her hair, but they hatched and started eating her brain. This is also told with numerous of popular big hair styles like a afro or the 80s poofy hair. Why this isn't true? No spider would lay it's eggs in your hair. They spend months in a place before they do lay the eggs. Also with the movement of a person, they wouldn't find it fit for a place to leave an egg sack. They also like cool damp places to lay the eggs. Spiders are pretty picky about where they do lay the egg sacks.

Snake Ache - A few boys where walking by a stream and they had taken a drink from it. They got spooked when they saw a snake nest near by. They were so frightened they had run home. A year later one of the boys was complaining of stomach ache. He had been taken to the hospital and when they took the X-rays, they saw something funny in his stomach, they had then pumped his stomach. In side all coiled up, there was a full grown snake.

New Carpet - An elderly woman had a new carpet laid by a professional. When the man had finished he was packing his things up, when he noticed a lump in the carpet. Angered, he grabbed a hammer and smashed the lump down. The next day the lady called the man, he had left one of his tools there. While on the phone, she asked, "By the way, did you happen to see my canary while you were working? He seems to have gotten out of his cage again" This one has also been told with a hampster, a dad and a son. Or the tools are a pack of cigarettes.

While they were in the mall parking lot, an old lady had grabbed the bag and ran off with it. The girls though it was sort of funny, so they decided to follow her to see what was going to happen. They walked around a corner and the woman was grabbing at her chest yelling "My God, the bag! The bag!" When the ambulance came and put her in it, a good sameritan grabbed the bag and put it with her in the ambulance, you know, since she was so worried about leaving it behind...

Dead Cat Package - One day a woman's cat died, so she had wrapped it in a package and took it to dispose of it. She had tried to put it in her apartment building's incinerator. Her landlord was there and pets weren't even supposed to be in the building. While on her way to work she tried to leave it on a bus, but a good sameritan gave it back to her. At lunch she tried to leave it at the restaurant she ate at, but the waitress gave it back to her. Everywhere she went there is always a good person to help her keep the package. When she got home, she decided to take one last look at her beloved cat but in it's place was a leg of lamb.

He checked her ear and thought she must have a earwing in her inner ear. He said it was too deep to remove, she would have to wait until it came out the other side. A few weeks later she had found a nasty looking bug on her pillow. She had put it in a jar and took it back to the doctor to see if that was the right bug. He said it was, but he also told her there was bad news. The earwig was a female and it had laid eggs.

They also wanted their dog who went every where with them to get something to eat. The waitress seemed to understand and took the pup with her. She had later returned with their meals and they ate away. When they were set to leave, they asked for the dog back. The waitress told them that they had just eaten the dog. It is also told that the couple wanted a doggy bag for the dog and when she returned it was their rosted dog, kinda like the pigs you see.

He set up his camera to take some pictures, and walked over to the deer, he used the antlers to hold his gun. When he was ready for the camera to take the picture, the deer got up. Lucky for him, the camera got many good pictures of the deer running off with the gun!

When she got home her dog became very sick and she took him to the vet. Sadly the vet was unable to save the dog. She had decided to ask the vet what breed the dog was. The vet looked shocked and confused, he then said "That was no dog, that was a Mexican sewer rat."

Bullseye - a hunter had heard of some great game that was on a farmers property. He went to the farmer to ask if he could hunt on his property. The farmer said it would be ok if he would get rid of the bull he had while he was at it. The man agreed. He decided he would play a trick on his friends and tell them that the farmer said no. He told them he would teach the farmer and he would make him sorry for not letting him on the property. He stepped out of the truck with his gun, the other hunters started yelling with joy and jumped out of the truck and began shooting the other cows before the prankster could stop them. He and his hunter buddies paid the farmer for the dead cows. The farmer told them if they ever wanted to go hunting agian that there was a lot of pigs in the back that were cheaper than the cows.

The young lady couldn't believe that the elderly lady would allow her dog to act like that. She didn't want to seem rude so she didn't say a word.
