I knew a guy when I was a freshman in high school in the year 2000 and he would not stop talking about how Japan already had PlayStation 7 and that the US was not allowing it to be sold in America.

I was in elementary school in the mid 90s and had a friend whose mom owned an independent movie rental store. He claimed that because of this he was able to get all kinds of insider info in the movie industry. My favorite was that George Lucas originally planned 9 Star Wars movies, and that three of them, taking place before the original trilogy, were already in the works. What nonsense.

I knew a guy who claimed his grandad shot Hitler. Hitler was not his grandfather.

Next you'll tell me that they planned several Matrix sequels... Imagine that...

Man, that rumor may have spread nationwide, or else I think I knew that guy.
