1. Vampires on NY Subway?

"I heard recently from a friend who lives in NYC that he (personally) saw a 
woman in her 20s, late at night on a Manhattan subway, with fangs that 
looked real, and were more than just big teeth."

2. Harry Potter Is Evil... I Tell You!

"So I'm one of the many Christian parents who oppose these books and find 
them unacceptable in our schools or geared to children. There are SO many 
other good books out there that there is no reason to push occult-themed 
books on children."

3. Problems with M-16s in Iraq

"I've heard for many years that the M-16 is considered a hunk of junk when 
compared to an Uzi or AK-47.  I consider this nearly common knowledge, as 
it's passed into pop culture with the relative unreliability of M-16s being 
referenced in books and movies.  Well, the subject hit a little close to 
home with this word, straight from the camel's mouth as it were, directly 
from my brother who is currently serving in Iraq."
