1. Good Luck Mr.Gorsky



When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky."



Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.



On July 5, 1995 (in Tampa Bay FL) while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.



When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball that landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom window. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"







2. Safety report



The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice recorders in pick-up trucks.



This was done in an effort to determine, when accidents occurred, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised

to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of crashes were, "Oh, Shit".



Only the state of Mississippi was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were:



"Hold my beer and watch this!"







3. Hit-n-run drunk



The incident happened on the New Jersey Turnpike. The guy was pulled over for drunk driving, and while the officer was questioning him, a traffic accident happened a short distance away. The officer told him to wait in the patrol car, while he went over to work the accident.

After about 15 minutes or so, the guy got behind the wheel and took off. He got home, parked the car in his garage, closed the garage door and went inside. He told his wife to tell anyone that asked, that he had been home all day, and laid down on the couch and went to sleep.



After about 2-3 hours (I wonder what took them so long), the police showed up. He told them he had been home all day. They asked to see his car, and when the opened the garage door, there was the cruiser, with the lights still flashing.







4. The Airline Passenger



An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.

During the final days at Denver's old Stapleton airport, a crowded United flight was cancelled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.



Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."



The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "Do you have any idea who I am?"



Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 17."



With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore "F*** you."



Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that too."

Some more Urban Legends....and much more hilarious this time

by Habitual Perfectionist » Wed Sep 15, 2004 2:17 am

Credited to The Official Darwin Awards



1. The Laundry



1998) A 39-year-old Charlottesville man died Thursday in a freak accident involving his washing machine. According to police reports, Samuel Randolph Strickson was doing laundry when he tried to speed up the process. Strickson apparently tried to stuff approximately 50 pounds of laundry into his washing machine by climbing on top of the washer and attempting to force the clothing into the basin. Strickson then apparently accidentally kicked the washing machine's ON button. When the machine turned on, Strickson lost his balance and both feet went down into the machine, where they got stuck.



The machine started its cycle, and Strickson, unable to free himself, started thrashing around as the machine's agitator went into gear. Strickson's head banged against a nearby shelf in the laundry room, knocking over a bottle of bleach, which poured over Strickson's face, blinding him. Forensic reports say Strickson apparently also swallowed some of the bleach. He then vomited, but was still unable to free himself. Strickson's dog, then apparently came into the laundry room.



At about the same time, according to police, a large box of baking soda fell from the shelf, startling the dog, who then urinated. Urine, like vinegar, is acidic, and the chemical reaction between the urine and the baking soda resulted in "a small explosion," according to police reports. The dog, however, escaped unharmed. Strickson remained stuck in the washing machine, which eventually went into its high-speed spin cycle, spinning Strickson around at about 70 miles per hour, according to forensic experts. Strickson's head then smashed against a steel beam behind the washing machine, immediately killing him. A neighbor heard the commotion and called 911, but Strickson was pronounced dead at the scene.





2. Overkill



In France, Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide. He stood atop a sheer cliff and tied a noose around his neck. He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment. He jumped and fired the pistol.



The bullet missed him completely and cut through the rope above him. Now freed from the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea. The dunking extinguished the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged out of the water by a kind fisherman and was taken to a hospital, where he died of hypothermia.





3. Gerbil Rocket



(1997 - 1998) "In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to save the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told the bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski and his homosexual partner, Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.



"I pushed a cardboard toilet paper tube up his rectum and slipped Ragout, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon,' my cue that he'd had reached nirvana, so to speak. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he simply would not come out, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him." At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman desribed what happened next.



"The match ignited a pocket of intestinal methane gas in Kiki's colon. Flames shot out the tube, ignited Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers, causing it to scurry further up Kiki's colon, which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out of the cardboard tube like a cannonball."



Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.



Sadly, Ragout the gerbil did not survive the incident.



4. Lightning Date



(1998) A pre-med student from the University of Arizona was hoping to score with his date on a Friday night. To put the woman in the mood, he drove her to a lonesome spot on Mount Lemmon, which overlooks the city of Tucson, Arizona. They walked to an open knoll and admired the city lights.



Overcome by the romantic locale, the lissome lass succumbed to his pleas. Soon they tossed their clothes off, made a bed of their garments, and began to make love. The heavy storm clouds rolling overhead mingled with the low rumble of thunder inside them. The excited lovers never looked up to see the charred remains of trees on the knoll.



Their idyllic clearing was a hotbed of electrical activity that night. With a blinding light, a bolt of lightning struck the high point on the knoll, which happened to be the pre-med student's ass, and sought the path of least resistance straight down. Incredibly, he survived, albeit in excruciating pain.



The heat of the bolt had fused together flesh and latex so that the two lovers were now stuck together. The woman unfortunately did not survive the lightning strike. When the student looked down into the vacant eyes of his girlfriend and realized she was dead, his immediate repulsion caused him to jerk away from her. When he found that he couldn't, a wave of pain and nausea made him vomit into the girl's face and open mouth.



Heaving only caused more pain and illness. Finally he passed out. Attracted by the smell, a bear found its way to the lovers and began to lick semi-digested pizza and buffalo wings from the dead girl's face. The student roused from his exhaustion. When he saw the bear, he realized that there was nothing he could do but lay silently in fear.



To his horror, the bear became dissatisfied with just a lick and started to eat the girl; loudly crunching her facial bones inches from his ear. The bear also sampled the student, scraping the back of his skull with its teeth, before moving on.

At 11:35AM, a group of camping girl scouts arrived at the lover's tryst, where the pre-med student's car was parked. Minutes later, three screaming girls discovered the student, who had regained consciousness several times in the night and had managed to drag himself and the partially-eaten girl several meters towards the road.



Doctors managed to separate the student from the corpse.



According to a hospital source, his penis resembled "a small piece of cauliflower" in its flaccid state. The first hint of arousal resulted in so much pain that the student was unable and unwilling to achieve an erection. It is doubtful that it will ever again function in a procreatory sense.





5. Unfortunate Indeed



This guy pushed his motorcycle from the patio into his living room, where he began to clean the engine with some rags and a bowl of gasoline, all in the comfort of his own home. When he finished, he sat on the motorcycle and decided to give his bike a quick start and make sure everything was still OK. Unfortunately, the bike started in gear, and crashed through the glass patio door with him still clinging to the handlebars.



His wife had been working in the kitchen. She came running at the fearful sound, and found him crumpled on the patio, badly cut from the shards of broken glass. She called 911, and the paramedics carried the unfortunate man to the Emergency Room.



Later that afternoon, after many stitches had pulled her husband back together, the wife brought him home and put him to bed. She cleaned up the mess in the living room, and dumped the bowl of gasoline in the toilet.



Shortly thereafter, her husband woke up, lit a cigarette, and went into the bathroom for a much-needed relief break. He sat down and tossed the cigarette into the toilet, which promptly exploded because the wife had not flushed the gasoline away. The explosion blew the man through the bathroom door.



The wife heard a loud explosion and the terrible sound of her husband's screams. She ran into the hall and found her husband lying on the floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks. The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance.



The same two paramedics were dispatched to the scene. They loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. One of them asked the wife how the injury had occurred. When she told them, they began laughing so hard that they dropped the stretcher, and broke the guy's collarbone.

My favourite Darwin Award

by Kenny » Wed Sep 15, 2004 6:15 am

awesome thread HP... here's my contribution.



One 1997 Darwin Award nominee is from Connecticut where many high

voltage electricity transmission lines crisscross the state. These

are held up by transmission towers of various configurations.

Adventurous folks sometimes climb the towers in order to enjoy the

view and the night air. Most stay away from the wires, and when they

get bored, come back down.



This '97 Darwin Nominee was apparently forlorn after a recent spat

with his girlfriend and, thinking he needed some fresh air to clear

his head, decided to climb a tower. He stopped for a 6 pack of his

favorite malt beverage to help focus his thoughts, went to a

transmission tower south of Hartford CT, next to I-91, and climbed it.



Public Service CT employees later pieced the story together. The man

apparently sat there 20 m above the highway, drank his beer and

consoled his bruised ego. After 5 beers, he needed to do what people

often need to do after 5 beers. It being such a long climb down, he

unzipped and did his business right there off the tower.



Electricity is a funny thing. One doesn't need to touch a wire in

order to get shocked. Depending on conditions, 115,000 volt lines,

like those supported by the tower, could shock a person as far away as

2 m. When the man "whizzed" near the conductor (wire), the

electricity arced to his electrolyte "stream" (urine is an excellent

conductor of electricity), traveled up to his private parts, and blew

him off the tower.



The power company operators noted a momentary outage on this

transmission line and sent a crew to see what had caused it. When

they got to the base of the tower, they found 5 empty beer cans, a

very dead person, his trouser fly down, and what was left of his

private parts smoking. A single unopened beer can was left on top of

the tower.

no...it does pass tho ppl may not die of it...



when my grandpa was doing his engineering in BHU ages ago, there was this fresher in his hostel who used to piss from his balcony every night on to the lawns below.



my grandpa and his freinds warned him to desist but he did not listen.



so one midnight my grandpa wrapped an iron mesh around his tennis racket, connected it to a wire that was plugged in and thrust that racket in the falling stream. :D



there was a scream from above and from then on the "waterfall" stopped for ever.



the victim was ok tho.



the above incident had become a legend in the college...and my grandpa was threatened with expulsion coz the victim's dad was quite influential. but thankfully nothing came out of it and all was well!

In 1994, a man jumped from the roof of an apartment building, clearly intending to commit suicide. When the police retrieved his body, however, they found that he had died from a shotgun wound to the head. This was in spite of the fact that the dead man had left a note in his pocket explicitly stating his intention to kill himself.



What had happened? At the moment the man jumped, a woman on the ninth floor had been threatening her husband with a rifle. She pulled the trigger and accidentally shot the jumper who happened to be falling past her window at the time. And here's the kicker: the woman was the dead man's mother, and her son had earlier loaded the shells into the rifle himself, hoping that his parents would kill one another in an argument.

This one was there too on the darwin awards site. And it's been doing email rounds in IT & ITES sectors in Hyderabad recently. With a slight difference though. Copying & Pasting from the darwin awards site.



At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS, President Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story:



On March 23,1994 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten story building intending to commit suicide. He left a note to that effect, indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window which killed him instantly.



Neither the shooter nor the descender was aware that a safety net had been installed just below at the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.



"Ordinarily," Dr. Mills continued, "a person who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide."



That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands. The room on the ninth floor, whence the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window, striking Mr. Opus.



When one intends to kill subject A but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant. They both said they thought the shotgun was unloaded. Thed old man said it was his long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.



The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.



Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself so the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Check out these funny ones too.



1. Two Faced



A businessman, Pete Rodgers, was recently in airport lounge waiting for an important client, who he was to accompany to Seattle.



While he waited for the flight, he noticed talk show host Jay Leno, along with a couple of hangers-on, trying to look inconspicuous.



Never backward in coming forward, Rodgers approached Leno, and asked him if he would do him a favour, and help impress his client by throwing him a cheery "Hi, Pete" when they met.



Leno agreed, and after a few minutes, the client showed.



After they had talked a while, Leno approached Rodgers, tapped him on the shoulder, and said "Hi, Pete, how are things?"



Rodgers turned around.



"Piss off, Leno, can't you see I'm in a meeting?".





2. Costly Recce



In August 1976, a pair of French delegates were in Moscow to attend a trade meeting.



They'd been warned that Big Brother was always watching, and told to be wary of what they might find in their hotel rooms.



So on arrival, true to Spy vs. Spy form, they began a systematic search of their room for electronic bugging devices.



Confirming their suspicions, they soon found a bump under one of the rugs. Pulling back the rug revealed the end of a metal pipe sealed with a plastic cup.



On the scent now, they removed the cup and found a large nut screwed down on several insulated wires. Eager to finish the job, and disarm the bug, they unscrewed the nut.



A loud crash resounded throughout the hotel, but it seemed to be coming from the room below. The duo spent the next minute or so pacing the room debating what had happened, and whether to admit guilt or not.



The first question was answered soon enough. There was a knock at the door, and upon opening it they were confronted by an irate manager, covered in glass, bruises, and blood.



He spoke in his best faltering English.



"Whatever you unscrew the chandelier for?"





3. A Bricklayer's tragedy



This is from an insurance claim filed by an English bricklayer, 44-year-old Eddie Thornton, who was injured at work. The insurance company had contacted him asking for more information. This was what he wrote;



"I am writing in response to your request for additional information, for block number 3 of the accident reporting form. I put 'poor planning' as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully and I trust the following detail will be sufficient. I am an amateur radio operator and on the day of the accident, I was working alone on the top section of my new 80-foot tower.



When I had completed my work, I discovered that I had, over the course of several trips up the tower, brought up about 300 pounds of tools and spare hardware. Rather than carry the unneeded tools and material down by hand, I decided to lower the items down in a small barrel by using the pulley attached to the gin pole at the top of the tower. Securing the rope at ground level, I went to the top of the tower and loaded the tools and material into the barrel. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow decent of the 300 pounds of tools."



"You will note in block number 11 of the accident reporting form that I weigh only 155 pounds. Due to my surprise of being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded quickly up the side of the tower. At about the 40-foot level, I met the barrel coming down. This explains my fractured skull and broken collarbone.



Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time, I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold onto the rope in spite of my pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of tools hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel."



"Without the weight of the tools, the barrel now weighed about 20 pounds. I refer you again to my weight in block number 11. As you would expect, I began a rapid descent down the side of the tower. In the vicinity of the 40-foot level, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, and the lacerations of my legs and lower body.



The encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell onto the pile of tools and, fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the tools, in pain, unable to stand and watching the empty barrel 80 feet above me, I again lost my presence of mind. I let go of the rope..."

the slopes as written by a New Orleans paper: A friend just got back from a holiday skiing trip to Utah with the kind of story that warms the cockles of anybody's heart. Conditions were perfect...12 below, no feeling in the toes, basic numbness all over...the "Tell me when we're having fun" kind of day.



One of the women in the group complained to her husband that she was in dire need of a rest room. He told her not to worry, that he was sure there was relief waiting at the top of the lift in the form of a powder room for female skiers in distress. He was wrong, of course, and the pain did not go away. If you've ever had nature hit its panic button in you, then you know that a temperature of 12 below doesn't help matters.



With time running out, the woman weighed her options. Her husband, picking up on the intensity of the pain, suggested that since she was wearing an all-white ski outfit, she should go off in the woods and no one would even notice. He assured her, "The white will provide more than adequate camouflage." So she headed for the tree line, began lowering her ski pants and proceeded to do her thing.



If you've ever parked on the side of a slope, then you know there is a right way and wrong way to set your skis so you don't move. Yup, you got it!!! She had them positioned the wrong way. Steep slopes are not forgiving...even during the most embarrassing moments.Without warning,

the woman found herself skiing backward, out-of-control, racing through

the trees...somehow missing all of them and onto another slope. Her derriere and the reverse side were still bare, her pants down around her

knees, and she was picking up speed all the while.



She continued backwards, totally out-of-control, creating an unusual vista for the other skiers. The woman skied back under the lift and finally collided violently with a pylon.The bad news was that she broke her arm and was unable to pull up her ski pants. At long last her husband arrived,

putting an end to her nudie show, then summoned the ski patrol. They transported her to a hospital. While in the emergency room, a man with an obviously broken leg was put in the bed next to hers.



"So, how'd you break your leg?" she asked, making small talk.



"It was the darndest thing you ever saw," he said. "I was riding up this ski

lift and suddenly, I couldn't believe my eyes! There was this crazy woman

skiing backward, out-of-control, down the mountain, with her bare bottom

hanging out of her pants. I leaned over to get a better look and fell out of the lift. So, how'd you break your arm?"

Arnt there Indian Urban Legends.



I heard one where Salman Khan got invited to "Who wants to be a millionaire" and actually won a million dollars. :shock: He was asked the following questons.



1. What is your name?



2. What comes after alphabet A ?

- He used his first 50 % elimination option here.



3. What is 2+2 ?

- He had to use a life line on this! He called Katreena.. she said it was 5. But he choose 4 anyway!



4. Which endangered animal should you shoot to go to jail?



5. Who was driving the car when a man got killed by your car in Mumbai?



6. What is the best way to make your girlfriend dump you?

Multiple choice:

    A. Tell her its over.
    B. Hit her.
    C. Remove your shirt and show your muscles when she asks if you love her.
    D. Hit her again if she doesnt get it the first time.




7. Fill in the blanks: Santa and _____ ?



8. What is zero divided by 1 ? At this point Salman started to remove his shirt. Regis was so shocked he gave him and the million anyway and has been in the mental asylum since.

good to see Salma(n) is not too popular here
People are crazy, at times are strange. I am locked-in tight, I am out of range.
I used to care, but things have changed.

Tell me about it man.. Salman and SRK. I dont know why they act or even try to act. A two celled ameoba can do better acting than these two sticks of wood.



But I have to give it to SRK.. he is smart!



Back to the topic. Any Indian Urban Legends ?
