Last year's rumor based on a news story in which a woman claimed to have been tricked into sniffing a drug that knocked her out has turned into a full-fledged urban myth. A new iteration of the old tale about drug smugglers using the corpses of children to transport illegal substances across borders has surfaced in the Gulf Arab region. The world is coming to an end on May 5, 2000. A new email rumor claims that violent teens across America are tossing firebombs into random cars. Out of 1999 inspires a sequel no less kooky but sure to be a hit.
