<p>this is one of the better lists theyve done i think, although i never hear of a bunch of these before -- does anyone else have some good ones?</p>
<p>10</a> College Urban Legends (Part I)
10</a> College Urban Legends (Part II)</p>
<p>I had this wack-job history teacher for AP US in high school who told us that at Boston College, the legend says that the day a virgin graduates from BC, the golden eagle statue will come to life and fly away. When someone in the class remarked, "Doesn't your daughter go to BC?" he responded "She's 20 years old, she can make her own decisions."</p>
<p>Ha, #1 is so awesome.</p>

<p>wow.... 2.8 million pennies.... dang.</p>
<p>lol i heard #9 at least once on this site and once through someone I met at a college fair</p>
<h1>8 -awesome</h1>
<p>Everyone seems to know someone who heard #7.</p>
<h1>3 must be in a seminary of some sort, lol, because that's harsh.</h1>
<p>^I've had that before. It was pretty funny.</p>
<p>I've heard a few before, and I get a kick out of #6.</p>
<p>I heard this one from a friend a while back: supposedly, an essay question on a philosophy test asked students to prove that a chair placed in the middle of the room didn't exist. Most of the students wrote long responses in an attempt to prove it, but the only student who got full credit was the one who simply responded "What chair?"</p>
<p>^LMAO.</p>
<p>That's awesome.</p>
<p>I thought number 7 was hilarious. I think I heard it somewhere, but don't remember.</p>
<p>I really wonder if that rejecting the rejection one is true. I know people who've done it, and just never heard any reply.</p>
<p>i just told salamanders to my friends and they thought it was hilarious as well...i'm actually hoping i something like this happens when i get to school -- even if none of these are true, someone needs to actually do them lol</p>
<p>I love #4 the most. Salamander's is also very good!</p>
<h1>7 happened in my high school bio class.</h1>
<p>later that year when talking about std's and oral sex, the same girl said she thought you can only catch std's from oral sex if you swallow, and when she found out she was wrong she looked pretty concerned...</p>
<p>Here's one I like:</p>
<p>A philosophy final was given in the oral exam format, where students would come in, and the professors would ask them questions. The story goes a student came in, sat before the board, and was asked "What is Freedom?"</p>
<p>He thinks for a second, gets up and leaves without saying a word.</p>
<p>He is the only one to ace the final.</p>
<p>Pretty similar to the "What Chair" one</p>
<p>A variation of number 7 always happens in high school health classes.</p>
<p>k314, I've heard the story repeated very often as a written exam asking "what is courage." Guy writes "this is courage" as the only thing on his paper and walks out.</p>
<p>Lots of philosophy related stories it seems. I've heard the one where the final exam is simply the question "why?" And the only student to get an A responded "why not."</p>
<p>here's an urban legend... philosophy professors pull that sort of bullshit on a regular basis</p>
