If it was a professional hit, they picked the wrong option.
Hardly ... since it worked (assuming it was a hit)The only way to be sure to kill someone in a car crash is to run them off a mountain road, not push them into a pillar in an underpass. The theory is utterly ludicrous.

ok i know this may be bumpkin, but think about if it was true, you have to remember the queen is the head of the state as well as the church. A muslim in the family would be a big problem.
It was only in the 2013 act, that a person could marry a catholic and ascend to the throne.
Some people think "bumpkin" is a substitute for "nonsense", apparently.It was only in the 2013 act, that a person could marry a catholic and ascend to the throne.

Personally I think that's bunkum.
Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but the Bermuda triangle..

The animals used by a popular fast food chain are now so far removed from chickens and are actually closer to rabbits, that the shops are not legally allowed to be called Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore, hence KFC.
I used to like that one, plus of course its much more fun than the real reason. On a related note, this reminds me of another popular urban myth which we all believed (and many still believe to this day) about the woman who caused "CAUTION: HOT" on every cup of coffee ever sold since she burned herself on McDonald's coffee because she was "too stupid" to realise that coffee was going to be hot and burned herself and sued for millions of dollars. I'll admit that this one is probably a bit beyond the scope of this thread because of how prevalent the myth is, and how little is known about the truth, you don't ever really hear it debunked properly at all.

Ooh, nice. I hadn't seen that. I had it explained in a law and ethic type class I did as part of my uni course, even though we were not studying US law for anything, I think it was more of a sidetrack to explain the principles involved, plus of course how if you have enough money you can spread loads of misinformation about peopleLance Catamaran said:
