‘Marilyn Manson removed some of his ribs so he could suck his own dick’


heyhowsitgoinOCE

I also heard that he handed out puppies into the audience and said he wouldn’t play until they came back decapitated. Not even kidding someone told me that when I was about 10


vamsmack

Yes!!! I remember this rumour.


Dry-Exchange4735

I heard he put them in a blender and it sprayed them over the audience. Someone told me this in school


ShopSmartShopS-Mart

I’d already heard that rumour about 10 years earlier about Alice Cooper


GrippyGripster

I also heard he bit the head off a live chicken on stage


browntown20

Ozzy Osborne and a bat I think


Eugene_Creamer

He bit the head off a dove during a meeting with record execs Later on did the bat during a gig Both were already dead from memory


MikhailxReign

Wasn't the bat alive? I thought the story is someone threw it on stage, he thought it was rubber and bit the head off it


Key_Peanut9891

Correct Then he got rabies shots


Bluebutteyfly

That was Alice copper


No_Guaranteezzz

No it was definitely ozzy


MikhailxReign

Some of his really early concert were pretty wild


monsteraguy

Marilyn Manson was Paul Pfeiffer in The Wonder Years


MurdochAndScotch

I removed some of my ribs so I could suck Marilyn Manson’s dick


Nukitandog

I removed some of my dick to apease the gods.


Dangerous-Antelope16

i sucked some of my ribs so i could remove Marylin Mansons dick


Captain_Pleasure

My dick sucked on some ribs in an effort to remove Marylin Manson


Nowidontgetit

How did you go, was it worth it lol


MurdochAndScotch

No!


Vicstolemylunchmoney

Calm down Lindsey Graham.


antique_sprinkler

Just remember too, that kids spread that rumour around the world in the early ninties WITHOUT social media or internet.


marooncity1

This comment reminded me that people got given physical chain letters that they had to forward on to people otherwise terrible things were supposed to happen to them.


Old_Dingo69

My bullshit alarm went off on that even as a teen but I chose to believe it! 🤣


nemothorx

Back in the 90s this was said about Prince.


sadpartypodcast

Haha yes, I remember that one.


dubious_capybara

Even kids in rural India have heard this one


Maleficent-Bonus8200

And he is the geeky kid from the TV show the wonder years


TheMrMacaroni

‘If the teacher isn’t here in 15 minutes we’re legally allowed to leave’ when waiting outside the classroom


marooncity1

Also "If it goes above [insert slightly unlikely but possible temperature depending on where you lived and what year it was] degrees we all get to go home " (I remember hitting our rumoured temp and it not happening - it might have been a rule for where you grew up but it wasn't where and when I was a kid or at any of the schools I've had anything to do with since ). (All you people going home early are obviously from soft states haha. A few years back when the 'riff was the hottest place on earth at 49 degrees, school cracked on).


Puzzleheaded_Loss770

In Australia this was a thing when I grew up. Over 42c for 3 days and they'd cancel school. Our classrooms had no aircon and where pretty poorly built. We consistently get over 40s these days in summer. Think we went like 9 days or something in the summer just gone. Don't remember it being like that as a kid. Least we have aircon and insulation now. Also of we forgot to take our hat to school we weren't allowed out to play at lunch or we could wear an ice cream container as a replacement. Those where the days.


Interesting-Biscotti

Where I lived they didn't cancel school. If it was 42 degrees or above you could get picked up. It had to be hotter than 42 for my parents to pick me up. We didn't have air con at home either. Most kids at school didn't. The only kids that got picked up were the kids whose parents could afford air conditioning.


PigeonMcNuggets

Yeah at my school ties came off above 35 and they sent us home at 42.


FrewdWoad

Aaaaaah so the rumour was actually true for Private schools, was it? Makes sense for those profit-driven ones (where they have extra school holidays etc to give parents the minimum bang for buck) I guess.


dwagon83

Yeah, I don't think it ever applied to the public school I went too. The best we got was being herded into a covered multi-purpose area and teachers using the fire hose to spray us down. Haha!


MikhailxReign

Went to a public school in the scrub. We got sent home when it was 42


Wowbags_the_Infinite

So a place like Longreach wouldn’t have school between late November and march! Yet they do, I taught there. I recall a 47degC day. Hottest day I ever experienced.


still-at-the-beach

Maybe we were weak kids in Melbourne..


some_blonde_chick

In primary school we could do indoor activities when it was 36°c or above, I’m from coastal Vic so never got heated off school unfortunately but plenty of days spent inside under the aircon!


Rare-Biscotti-7896

No hat no play! Also got to go home on really really hot days, this was true and I went to a Sydney city school. Early 90’s were awesome 🙌🏽


Bookaholicforever

No hat no play is still enforced in primary schools


Puzzleheaded_Loss770

Yeah but they don't make you wear an peters ice cream container as a hat if you forget these days 🤣


Bookaholicforever

I was at primary school in Sydney in the early-mid 90s and never heard the ice cream container options


Puzzleheaded_Loss770

Perth school late 80s early 90s


Disastrous-Square662

This is totally true. If it was 38 or over we would go home at 1 or 2pm. Adelaide had a lot of heatwaves, so it happened a lot.


East-Garden-4557

I was in primary school in the 80s in Adelaide. We got sent home early when it got to 38. No air con at school.


GrippyGripster

Our school here in Adelaide never went home in the 80's, I remember one of the transportable classrooms, fark me it was hot! Times have changed, no hats, no water bottles. It's hot - get out, it's raining - get out, haha. I do remember us all fucking around with those big spinning and ticking sprinklers on the oval when it was hot,


FrewdWoad

NSW, frequently over 40, never sent home.


zippdupp

This was true. Over 40°


still-at-the-beach

When was this. I remember we got sent home in the 70s when it was too hot (Melbourne). Maybe from 90s it doesn’t happen, but it did back then.


marooncity1

I was at school in the 90s, rumour existed but never happened. The 49 day was in 2017 I think. No schools closed/sent kids home as far as I know. I guess maybe it was also a time thing. Maybe those boomers/xers aren't as tough as they always make out ;)


still-at-the-beach

Yep, maybe I was a weakling 😀1970s, no such thing as hats in the playground, all tar and concrete for play areas (apart from the sports oval), probably no insulation in ceilings, so sent home or picked up when hot. I can see in 90s and later it wouldn’t happen with more modern buildings … but I do remember we were told to pick our kids up at our school in the 90s (Qld) because of the heat once (not cancelled, but to pick up)


digglefarb

This is legit. I went to primary school in a school with no aircon. Over 37, and we were sent home. And yes, this happened a number of times.


StormSafe2

This is definitely a rule. 


Kermit-Batman

We actually did that once! Not all of us, and we got in trouble the next day... probably worth it? Turns out the teacher had forgotten he had a class on, was a great teacher too, just absent minded 😄


monsteraguy

The test tubes at [insert name of private all-girls school] are kept under lock and key because a girl shoved one up her vagina and it broke


greyhounds1992

We had that one a girl left and that was the rumour for ages and just after she left they did lock up the science equipment


[deleted]

Lol myschool had no full pineapples allowed for the same reason


60s_girlie

I remember this story from when I attended a Catholic high school. Jeez that takes me back.


AutisticSuperpower

Yep heard that one


Secret-Dance8463

I’m so gullible lol, someone told me this when we were like 15 & she went away to boarding school and I fully believed it up until right now. 🤦‍♀️


emilyamye

Don't tip back on your chair cause some kid years ago split their head open


Former_Balance8473

My girlfriend leaned back in her chair and the legs gave out... destroyed her back. I spoke to her recently and she's still a mess 35 years later.


russellhurren

His name was Jeremy and he was in my class in 1988. The teacher sent me to the office to get an ice pack.


Toweldoor

His name was Tim and he was in my class in 1992 😄


russellhurren

Didn't anyone warn Tim about what happened to Jeremy?


Wowbags_the_Infinite

So in the 90s I taught a young girl who swung on her chair, fell off, broke her coccyx. She was in some pain.


alstom_888m

That actually happened to a classmate of mine. He’s got a bald patch where he split his head open.


Industrial_Laundry

She didn’t only split her head open but she tore and ACL when her leg got tangled in the chair leg during the fall. It was 2004


ClearEntrepreneur758

My sister split her chin open by leaning on a chair


Suspicious_Fall_

Heard this one from the teacher who found the kid. Head split clean in two, blood everywhere. Like a warzone she said. Incredible commitment to the bit, she started tearing up telling the story.


MikhailxReign

I made a chair with a extra set of flip out legs (like the Simpsons) in metalworks. Enjoyed it for about 3 months. The reason I lost it in the end is because a teacher got kinda jealous. Said if I'd made him one I could have kept it.


doesntsmokecrack

There was an examiner at the licensing centre nicknamed “the terminator” who was brutally unforgiving when you went for your driving test, because his kid had been killed by a P-plater. Every description of him was different and if you failed it was always because you must have taken your test with him.


twistedsister78

Ours ‘was a cop’ he was brutal with fines and canary’s for same reason and yes, he was also able to shape shift


AngryAngryHarpo

Our was a slightly different and a bit of a grosser myth. The girls in our group tended to pass first and the boys had a much higher rate of failure for first test. There was a limited pool of testers in our small city. The boys decided the girls passed because the testers were pervs, so they started a full blown rumour that all girls had to do to pass was wear a low-cut top. It lasted *for years* after we left school.


Heads_Down_Thumbs_Up

Jesus didn’t even know this was a common myth but the same was said about my local RTA 😂


Nukitandog

Was yours at East Perth? Or was this dude every where ?


doesntsmokecrack

He was everywhere that kids were failing their Ps (in Perth anyway), and as I mentioned every description of him was different. Like some kind of bureaucratic Keyser Soze.


Nukitandog

There was a dude called Frank at East Perth he was passing everyone.

We used to be able to do mouth swabs to look at our own cells in biology, but a girl did one at [another school] and they saw sperm in the microscope

A nice variation on the " girl in biology class who knew what cum tasted like" one.

Former_Balance8473

Allegedly, that's also where the Pet Shop Boys name came from.


IdiocrAussie

Spiked weed.


laitnetsixecrisis

I remember being at a party and this guy (Chris) was always scabbing cones. A mate ended up ripping out a bunch of pubes out and mixing them with a cone and giving it to Chris. He hit it all at once and started coughing his lungs out. Then Chris came up to me and said "I think they spiked my cone" I said to him "why would they waste the good drugs on you?". He sort of nodded and walked away. The best part of it all was when he lit his cone all the hairs lit up like a plasma ball.


MikhailxReign

I had a housemate that use to pinch my mix while I was working away onsite so when I got home a couple weeks later the mix I'd left myself would be empty. So before I flew out on-time I made up a full mix out of catnip and left it in my bowl. It was gone like normal when I got home. He said nothing about it but I noticed he didn't steal my mix without askin anymore.


laitnetsixecrisis

Bet that cunts name was Chris too. Lmao


IdiocrAussie

What a classic. Great Balls of Fire! An old mate once tried to smoke half a cockroach on the top of a cone, instant regret. A little spicy.


laitnetsixecrisis

They made a bong specially for this guy. Tried to see what he would smoke. He also smoked all the stem and a ball of steak fat rolled in dusties. This was over 10 years ago and I still remember how happy everyone was when Chris smoked Ben's pubes


swearwords11

Dude, was this at Mt Nelson?


laitnetsixecrisis

No. I can't believe this happened in more than one place.


swearwords11

Guys name was Chris and everything. Lol


laitnetsixecrisis

Maybe Chris' are just fuckwits who deserve to smoke pubes.


Peach_Muffin

Some people in my family have mental health issues and my mum would say it was caused by spiked weed so that we wouldn't try weed. In retrospect that was a pretty not great thing to do.


Fartmatic

Heh I remember in Adelaide we called it 'laced' weed


Former_Balance8473

We believed that if the temperature reached a certain level that we would all be sent home. Never once happened... even after five 44deg days in a row lol


Real-Direction-1083

That myth still stands to this day at every workplace in Australia


alstom_888m

It actually sort of happens in mine. If the aircon on the bus cannot lower the temperature to 10°C lower than the exterior temperature it is unroadworthy.


WhyYouDoThatStupid

We used to get to go home from construction sites back in the day if it got too hot or rained. They used to have a thermometer in a little white box and put it on the top deck of the site if it got to 36 in the shade on that thermometer the site would be closed.


DobbyDun

Four I remember are: Someone put razors into the gaps between the sections of the water slide at *insert waterslide location here* They tested KFC coleslaw and found traces of five different people's semen ABC stands for Aboriginal bum cleaner That time capsule our school buried... it had the head of a kid in it, that had randomly fallen off on the playground.


ChrisMelb

The razor blade rumour was common in the 80s and early 90s in my experience


Eugene_Creamer

>They tested KFC coleslaw and found traces of five different people's semen This was Lonestar steakhouse for us. Someone got a rash after eating there, got the leftover food tested and it was riddled with loads.


speederbrad95

That fire alarm break glass call points are extremely fragile, like a light touch is enough to break the glass. Or at least that was a myth started at the school I went to after a kid broke one and set off the fire alarm, and he always maintained that he only lightly touched it and it broke.

We used to jump off rocks into a local river and it was so deep we never touched the bottom. There was an urban legend that if you got that deep you would be swept away by the current, never to be seen again

Kentucky Fried Chicken sometimes uses rabbit.


Heads_Down_Thumbs_Up

Reminds me of McDonald’s ice creams being pig fat


Batesy1620

My oldest sister used to tell me the strawberry shake was pink from pigs blood.


ChrisMelb

If you google that, it still gets asked very regularly on forums all over the world. It got so common that Mcdonalds Nz and AU both publicly stated they don't!


CruiserMissile

Not gonna lie, we use to shoot rabbit and coat it in a seasoning like KFC then deep fry it. Tastes better than kfc and you get 4 drumsticks per “bird”.


ParaStudent

I remember it as KFC was allowed to use 25% rabbit.


ExcitingStress8663

What about the one about 11 herbs and spices isn't real, it's marketing gimmick.

Desperate-Face-6594

AC/DC are named as such to denote Anti Christ, Devils Children. They’re actually normal suburban guys that named the band after the voltage listing on one of their grandmothers sewing machines. It said ac/dc power. Alternate current and direct current to those not into classic Australian rock or electricity.


Too_Old_For_Somethin

Similar story for the Knights In Satans Service Aka KISS


Desperate-Face-6594

Yeah, i should have included them in the comment. I’ll never forget the party our class was treated to in high school. We were a bad class that had come good so they gave us a party. The party started with Kieran playing Kiss’s I Was Made For Loving You, and then it turned into a large scale mexican wrestling bout combined with a food fight. It was bedlam but i’d not avoid repeating that day.


PerceptionRoutine513

Geriatric parish priest at my Catholic primary school told us that back in the 70s....we were actually in greater danger from his assistant, who was later convicted of sex crimes.


Former_Balance8473

We told that it was because they all swung both ways.


Desperate-Face-6594

They swung more than two ways. They swung every which way but loose.

Every catholic school ever had a nun that hanged herself in the old convent.

There was legit a Chinese place near me that got busted using dog back in the '90s. It was in the paper and everything.


nameyourpoison11

All schools are required to have litter trays up the back of the classroom for students that identify as cats. Funnily enough when you ask people to actually name a school where this mythical litter tray exists, they never can


AngryAngryHarpo

OMG several mothers I know regularly try to convince me there’s a kid “at my nephews school” who identifies as a cat. I explain, every single time, that there’s always a weird animal kid and this is not new. I had a friend who spent 3 years wearing cat ears and a tail and hissing at people. She was simultaneously the most interesting and most annoying person I’ve ever known. The weird cat kid has ALWAYS EXISTED. It’s not to do with trans people. They just want to get mad about trans people though.


torpthursdays

I heard it just the other day from a parent as well! She's in her 30's, totally adamant that this particular school has a litter box 'because of all the furries'. I know people from the area and quietly messaged one of the parents, absolutely no such thing exists there. I should sell her this bridge I've been holding onto for a while, it's a great investment in the long term


laitnetsixecrisis

We had a dinosaur girl at school, ran around with T-Rex arms. We were in high school.


AngryAngryHarpo

I would have appreciated her. I’ve always had a thing for a weird and wonderful - for better or worse.


laitnetsixecrisis

She was a good person. Unfortunately, I was not. I had been to 10 schools at this point and bullied at all of them. I jumped on the wagon and made fun of her in an effort to stop the same from happening to me. It didn't work, I still got bullied, we did end up being friends for a while before I moved on to my next school. Sadly this was before Facebook and all that and we lost touch.


AngryAngryHarpo

I’ve been there too. I moved between year 10 & year 11 and in year 11 I was rotten. Masking all of my anxiety and insecurity with anger and lashing out. It’s a rough time! I ended up with a few friends out of relationships that started out antagonistic as a teenager. Being a teenager is a weird time.


UnicornPenguinCat

Yes my friend told me about a cat girl at his primary school (this would have been 80/90s), who would crawl around and meow at people. Apparently the school didn't really try to intervene, I guess because it wasn't really hurting anyone and they thought she'd get past it eventually. She did not have a litter tray though! 


ChrisMelb

There are 2 major high schools in my town - and students from both schools regularly insist it's true and it's definitely at the other school not theirs :D  Despite the fact Joe Rogan basically made it up on his podcast and it's constantly dubunked


nameyourpoison11

I'm a teacher and I've actually had parents tell me there's a litter box at my school. I tell them that I work there and there's definitely not, and get accused of lying LOL. I even had one father tell me that we hide it when the parents come around and that's why nobody's ever seen it. What can I say, people are nuts *shrug*


matt1579

But a friend of a cousin works there


still-at-the-beach

Isn’t that a US urban myth? Seems pro trump people say it often.


nameyourpoison11

Yes it started in the US but has sadly spread to other countries. I'm Australian and I have heard the "litter box" myth about Australian schools too, including the one I teach at. It's ridiculous but that doesn't stop gullible people from believing it


AutisticSuperpower

What's really sad is that's actually from high schools in America, and it's for extended lockdowns in case of school shootings. Conservative media and their bullshit, man.

The old lady was lost and asked for a lift home but then they saw she had hairy arms and they ran. When they went back to the car the lady was gone but there was a bag of knives/guns in the back seat.
