"Cow tipping" and "uncooked rice killing birds" have got to be the two biggest and most successful trolls of all time.

Sounds like someone didn’t eat his spiders while sleeping.

well did anyone tell him why veins are blue?

My six year old just informed me that one of his buddies thinks blood is blue in your body.

I don’t know if I was successful in explaining why it isn’t though.

I raised a small handful of cows for a bit growing up. Tipping them over never crossed my mind because they're huge, heavy and strong. You would have to use a tractor or other machinery and that's just animal abuse at that point.

I don't know if it was the same thing, but I grew up hearing that if you mix your drool/saliva before brushing with rice and feed it to chickens, they would die.

As in, trolling people to believe these things actually happen, I think.

That's the one. I heard wedding venues started spreading the rice thing because they were sick of cleaning up rice and bird shit all the time.

I'm guessing the other just got popular for farm kids wanting to fuck with city folk.
