Is it Fact or Fiction?

This song here has a little legend i remember as a child... when i heard the story i would NOT listen to the song..supposedly this is how the story goes..



The Ohio players, crazy story about how the girl that posed for that had her shins adhered to the table she was on when the honey mixed with the fiberglass and began a lawsuit with the manager. In the song "Love Rollercoaster" at one point you can hear a loud shriek in the background.. the woman and the manager were having an argument in the next room while they were recording when he suddenly stabbed her to death. The death cry was left in the track and ended up being a popularity tactic. When you hear it in the song it makes your skin crawl.

What hints to me that this is fiction are.... a studio recording is sound proof right?.. hmmm

This is a sample of the song with the scream.. does it sound authentic, real.. for many years i beleived it, but i don't know.. what do you think? I mean come would they actually leave the scream of a dying woman in their music?

Anyone else got any.. Fact or Fiction? Beleive it or Nots?

That could be almost anything. Someone could've been dragging a chair across the floor, dragging their nails down a chalkboard . . . who know's? One reply on utube says it was made by the keyboardist and the model is a former playboy playmate who's still very much alive. Sounds plausible to me.

I do wonder what it really says played backwards though.

I never heard that about this song. It gives me the creeps when i listened to it. I won't ever think of the song the same now if i ever hear it.

Lips

This i heard waaay back when i was little about this story, and im serious i would not listen to the song.. it had me creeped out.. the thing about it is.. a recording studio is soundproof when they are recording, one story says she burst into the sound room, the other story is they were in the next room arguing.. the story is supposed to be true about the murder, i'm not sure the scream is her, i'm saying would they do such a thing?.. but haven't found effidence of any it only the tale...

so i have to go with undecided...

I am gonna say it is not true after reading some of the comments under the video. Can't imagine they would sensationalize someones death like that.

I got one that i always wondered about......

Fact or Fiction

In the lyrics the twist.....Is Chubby Checker really saying "C'mon little bi*th let's do the twist"? That seem's hard to believe given that era. If he is not then what the heck is he saying?

Lips

hmm.. i think he says.. lil sis.. but let me listen a few more times, cuz this sure is a close call.. wow thanks for bringing this one lips lol

Great topic guys! I may have one contribution myself.

I bet you all remember Led Zeppelin and their best-known song Stairway to Heaven? There's a story that, when you play it backwards, you can actually hear them singing a Satanic message. What do you think?

Catface...

thats scarey.. and it fits.. forward the song is stairway to heaven, played backwards it is stairway to hell... i have also heard this legend as a child and today it still gives me chills... this is one i am undecided upon..

here's one.. look before you sit..

Don't forget to look !
This is really scary ...

If you haven't already heard about it in the news, here is what happened.

3 women in Chicago, turned up at hospitals over a 5 day period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. There were no outward signs of trauma. Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know each other, and seemed to have nothing in common. It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same restaurant (Chilies, at O'Hare Airport), within days of their deaths.

The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail. The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat. Under the seat, out of normal view, was small spider.

The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the South American Blush Spider (arachnius gluteus), so named because of its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere. Several days later a lawyer from Los Angeles showed up at a hospital emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been away on business, had taken a flight from New York, changing planes in Chicago, before returning home. He did not visit Chilies while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock. Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in South America. The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from South America, and discovered the Blush spider's nests on 4 different planes! It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country.

So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders.

It can save your life!

Fact or Fiction?

LMAO!!!!

Oh noooooo! Not Chicago! How long ago did this happen do you know imagin?

I tried to find that out on the story, it didn't give a date, only a description of what went on, the stories i were reading were a mixture of recent and/or legendary facts and fictions.. it could go either way..

okay, well watch out for your private toilet as well.  those little b**chin' spiders like out-of-the-way spots.

Okay, while filming "The Wall", when Pink comes back to the hotel room with the girl from the concert, he starts smashing up the hotel room.  The actor playing Pink (Bob Geldof) is seen ripping down the blinds in front of the window, and also hanging onto the window and yelling.  While filming the part where he pulls down the blinds, he cut his hand open pretty badly.  You can see the bandage on his hand in the shot where he hangs onto the window, leans around, and screams.

fact or fiction,  *I know*...do you?

Here is some more fact and fiction this one is about pets..i thought they were very interesting

Dogs are Color blind..
Truth: The Basis for this myth is not known..
Dogs do see in color. However, they see differently than most people do and are less able to distinguish between colors. Veterinary ophthalmologists have determined that dogs see like people who have red/green color blindness. Dogs eyes have receptors for blue and green shades, but not for red shades. As a result, it appears that dogs cannot easily distinguish between yellow, green and red, but they can identify different shades of blue, purple and gray. Color is only one of many visual stimuli that dogs detect in their environment. Brightness, contrast, and especially motion, are extremely important to a dogs interpretation of what it sees

Cats Always land on their feet..
Truth:although cats do instinctively try to fall feet first, they commonly break bones or suffer other injury when falling from heights..
This is perhaps one of the most widely known and dangerous of all myths regarding cats, because unfortunately many children have tried to prove that it is true. It is not. Cats are indeed very athletic and agile animals, and they do have a unique instinctive ability to twist themselves around in mid-air to correct their position during a fall. However, if a cat is surprised, sick, disoriented or injured, it is unlikely to be able to adjust its position to land feet-first. Of course, if it falls from a great height, a cats ability to reposition itself will not matter, because the force of the fall will cause serious injury or even death whether the cats feet hit the ground first or not. Moreover, if a cat falls from a short height, it may not have enough time to twist around and land on its feet.

If a dog's nose is warm, it means it's sick...
The origin: There is no identifiable origin for this myth. People just seem to think that a dog with a warm and/or dry nose is sick, and that a dog with a cold wet nose is well.

Truth: If a dog has a dry or warm nose, it means that he has a dry or warm nose. A dry nose or a mildly warm nose has nothing to do with the overall health of a dog

If a dog is wagging its tail, it is happy
The origin: Most dogs do wag their tails when they are happy. As a result, people associate a wagging tail with a happy dog.

The truth: In many cases, a dog that is wagging its tail is happy, or at least is expressing excitement or pleasure. Tail-wagging certainly does express a strong state of emotion, much like a smile does in people. However, just like a human smile, a dogs wagging tail does not necessarily reflect happiness or something positive. Dogs frequently wag their tails when they are agitated, irritated, tense, anxious, annoyed, frightened, angry or aggressive. Interestingly, researchers have found that dogs do not normally wag their tails when they are alone, even if they apparently are happy or are in a pleasant situation. Tail-wagging seems to be a behavior that is reserved for times when the dog is in the company of others.

Cats have nine lives...
The origin: This myth probably stems from the fact that cats are very supple and resilient animals, even when they are ill or injured. Cats have a keen ability to get out of situations that would probably be the death of lesser animals. There are many reports of cats surviving for lengthy periods of time in very harsh conditions, even without easily accessible food or water. The related myth that cats always land on their feet may also contribute to the myth that cats have nine lives. Nine is considered by many to be a lucky number. In some cultures, the myth is that cats have seven lives. Either way, cats are considered to be lucky.

The truth: Of course, cats do not have nine lives Cats are mortal. However, they do tend to be very healthy, hearty animals that can take care of themselves in most any situation, whether indoors or out. They are nimble, intelligent and resourceful. But, like all other mammals, cats only have one life to live.

A dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's mouth..
The origin: Dog saliva was once believed to be antiseptic, and some people still believe it has healing properties. The basis for this belief is not known.

The truth: A dogs mouth is not cleaner than a persons mouth. Dog saliva can be toxic to some bacteria, but it carries its own population of bacteria and other infectious organisms. That population is just different from the assortment of bacteria and other germs in the human mouth, based largely upon differences in diet. There is a reason for the term, dog breath. People with weakened immune systems and young children probably should not have direct contact with dog or cat saliva.

One Year of Dog Life is equal to 7 human years...
The truth: Contrary to popular belief, there is no exact formula to gauge how much a dog develops or ages in comparison to so-called people years. Aging is as individual for dogs as it is for people. Taking a dogs age and multiplying it by 7 is an overly simplistic formula and does not reflect a dogs actual developmental status. A more accurate rough guide is as follows:

1-year-old-dog equals a 15-year-old human.
2-year-old-dog equals a 24-year-old human.
4-year-old-dog equals a 32-year-old human.
7-year-old-dog equals a 45-year-old human.
10-year-old-dog equals a 56-year-old human.
15-year-old-dog equals a 76-year-old human.
20-year-old-dog equals a 98-year-old human.

Cats purr because they are happy...
The origin: This myth, like many others, doesn't have a precise origin. It probably comes from the fact that most cats do purr in the presence of their owners when they are being petted, which we interpret as a sign of happiness.

The truth: Most cats do purr when they are happy. However, that is not the only time they purr. Cats will sometimes purr when they are sick, stressed, injured, frightened or in pain. They also can purr when they are giving birth, and even as they are dying. Purring seems to be more an expression of some strong emotion - whether positive or negative - than it is an expression of any particular emotion, including happiness. Purring by a cat might be similar to humming or whistling by a human: it commonly is done out of happiness, but it may also be done as a result of stress, fright or discomfort.
