Thinking of all these stories lately, I've compiled a list of 11 of the weirdest rumours we all heard at school that any Irish child will remember.
American musician and massive scary man in general Marilyn Manson remained a mystery to us all, with his unusual sense of style and strange looking face.
I remember the rumour being passed around that Marilyn had his ribs surgically removed to orally pleasure himself. An odd story granted, but it seems I wasn't alone in believing this.
Did Marilyn Manson really had his ribs removed to suck his dick?

Here we have the rumour that a family found a dog in Spain, travelled to France and got the ferry home, before realising the pooch was in fact, a rat. Weird.
Another rumour that was rife in Irish schools was that Galaxy chocolate was made of breast milk.
How would that be legal? Who started this?

Popular energy drink Red Bull contains taurine, an amino acid that helps doctor the amount of minerals and water in the blood, however I remember being told that taurine was in fact, bull sperm.
was that true that red bull has bull sperm....

Do people still claim that red bull has actual bull sperm in it or did that myth die in 2012 — Dug (@ConnorDooggan) July 5, 2016
While it was always widely known that Michael Jackson was a fan of cosmetic surgery, however there was always the rumour that his 'plastic' nose fell off and he had to get another nose job.
"girl i feel like michael jackson when his nose fell off yeno"

Despite there being no record of a skydiving incident ever happening, many of us heard that Kenan Thompson of 90s cult show Kenan and Kel died in a horrible accident. GRIM.
This one is probably the most ridiculous.
As a child, I was told that Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson was the father of American Idol star Kelly Clarkson. The theory was, he abandoned her as a child and THAT was why she produced so many sad songs, like Behind the Hazel Eyes and Since U Been Gone, not to mention her biggest hit of all...
