Walt Disney wasn't frozen and he wasn't anti-semetic either.

A few Titanic related myths:
She was not the first ship to use the SOS distress code
There was no number attached to Titanic that would reflect as NO POPE
There was not a mummy on board

No but there was a heoric octopus that saved the Titanic from sinking, despite the machinations of the Shark mafia

A few Titanic related myths: She was not the first ship to use the SOS distress code There was no number attached to Titanic that would reflect as NO POPE There was not a mummy on board There's a lot of myths from tv and movies. For example: Third class passengers were not locked below deck after the collision. There were gates separating steerage from the rest of the ship but they were for immigration regulations and weren't closed during the voyage. Bruce Ismay never pushed Captain Smith to go full speed. In fact he was helping people into lifeboats right until the last moment and was literally the last person off the ship. Titanic was never marketed as "unsinkable". This was a tag the media added after the sinking.

I am reminded of this board's former father site when I say:
Ludvig Borga's gimmick was NOT anti-American Finnish environmentalist. R.D. took this from one vignette only.
To a lesser extent, "The Dragon" being treated like a new rookie.

To a lesser extent, "The Dragon" being treated like a new rookie. Even WWF magazine, while not referring to him as Ricky Steamboat, made reference to him being a former IC champ. Also, during one of his Superstars squashes, Savage on commentary mentioned wrestling him at WM3.

Elvis did not die sitting on a toilet. Some myths are worth keeping alive.

Eric Bischoff was NOT Verne Gagne's neighbor and did not come up with the Team Challenge Series.

Goku is a terrible father. That stopped being funny years ago I know. It’s about time we also acknowledge what a terrible husband he was.

I’m guilty of this one, because I’ve posted it in various fun fact threads on this board before.
As far as I know Richard Nixon did not wear an apron at family BBQs that read “I am not a cook” for the LOLZ.

Myth: The Simpsons had Bart in a blue shirt in early merchandise so they could cut down on / easily spot counterfeit merchandise.
The reality is they used early concept art for the original toys. Thinking about it for a few seconds should make you realize "make the bootlegs look more official than the official" is a pretty dumb strategy.

Goku is a terrible father. That stopped being funny years ago Honestly, I get it, though Super exaggerated his faults further. Goku is a loving father, and to lesser extent husband, but he is also a very absent dad. What he did in the Cell Games was also well-meaning, but honestly manipulative, trying to trigger Gohan's anger and having to be called out by Piccolo for not understanding that Gohan isn't Goku and was panicking. So, I wouldn't call him a bad father, especially by the standards of the series, but he's got some big flaws.

I am reminded of this board's former father site when I say: I'm glad someone remembers the beginnings of the board. It's like its own myth around here that this board never originally was Wrestlecrap. We even still have the John Tenta board and it was RD that had the friendship with John. No offense to anyone in charge here, this board is the best wrestling board around but I just wish the history of the board was more well known. I'm not sure exactly what happened but it reminds me of a founding CEO of a company being fired from his own company by the board.

We literally have a section labelled Wrestlecrap Archives, the Tenta Archive still mentions Wrestlecrap. It's not like anyone is hiding that this used to be associated with WC... but we've spent more time NOT affiliated with it than when it was. Hell a good portion of our posters at the time of the split didn't go to the WC site.

R.D. had a no-cut list for people who gave him money. Blade sent a profanity laced message to Madison when he politely voiced his disapproval. f*** that site. There were other creepy things too, but that's none of our business.
