I was recruiting for my school the other day and one of the students raised their hands and asked, "Is it true that your school has a missile silo?" We said no, but it would be cool to have a school that bad ass. Where did he even hear that rumor? How does something that large start? Did his big brother decide to mess with him and say it exists?
Rumors baffle me. I had two students the other day where they used to be friends, the one got angry and started saying on Facebook that she was pregnant, and then they became friends again and she retracted her statement. You can't just retract something like that.
Rumors-they are ugly.
I just needed to stand on my soapbox for a few minutes today.
