You don't hear the term urban myth too much, anymore, I guess, but probably you know what it means: stories or ideas that probably originated as rumors and became widely accepted. One example that comes to mind is the idea that city sewer systems are inhabited by big alligators because people have flushed unwanted pet baby alligators down the toilet.
I think it's time to organize an effort to start some new urban myths. I will make one contribution, and I urge my readers to contribute theirs by posting them as comments to this post.
Okay, here's mine: You shouldn't put two yellow-colored things in the microwave at the same time as some (unspecified) harm will occur.
