Pretty much an urban legend.

Thanks, I kinda thought it was blown out of proportion.

Kids are always talking trash. The real truth is worse than the nonsense like this.

Stuff like this isn't proven or debunked. It isn't a single source that can be proven wrong, its a fad that could start today if two kids do it.

I went to high school in South Florida, where there was always at least one girl in every high school who put peanut butter on her (censored) and had a dog lick (censored). That girl was always referred to as "Skippy."

Even better was the fact that every high school claimed to be the one that got banned from Grad Night at Disney for throwing Mickey Mouse in the lake back in 1982.

Snopes is a Leftist site, run by Leftist activists, and aggressively promote a Leftist agenda.

They have extensively de-bunked any mention of the Clinton Body Count, and have linked to a Bush Body Count in its place.

When Iraqi Freedom kicked off, the blonde Socialiette who helps run Snopes stated on the site, that "they will not support the troops or the war so as to maintain their objectivity". Not a direct quote, so know-it-all paleo-FReepers can calm down.

I will not give them the Web hit they so desperately need, and neither should you.

Really? According to the Snopes link you provided:

Status: Undetermined.

When Snopes calls it "undetermined", I don't dismiss it as an urban legend.

How does that make it untrue?

I just went to the snopes link and it was far from sure that it was just an urban legend.

Just because it is on Snopes, doesn't mean it is an Urban Legend.

In fact, the Snopes status states 'undetermined'.

Snopes is not the absolute truth. It was started by a husband and wife team who are avowed liberals, and I have seen a couple things abou Hitlery that ARE true that are considered lies on Snopes.

Snopes must be taken with a thick sprinkle of salt. They get their info from the internet, just as anyone else does. They have a liberal bias.
