@Frenchi. What myth or urban legends did you believe growing up ?
Congratulations to @Dylwa77 and @Apalm. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Dylwa77 If you were granted a wish to learn the truth about one controversial event, what would it be?
@APalm Do you remember a time that you succumbed to peer pressure, or resisted it?
“Racoon penis!”
Yes, raccoons (like many male mammals) have a baculum—a bone in their penis. In raccoons, it’s a curved, slender bone typically 3–5 inches long (sometimes called a “Texas toothpick,” “coon dick,” or “mountain man toothpick” in rural American contexts).
This bone helps provide rigidity during mating. It’s prominent enough that raccoon bacula are commonly collected, cleaned, and sold as novelties, toothpicks, stir sticks for moonshine (to direct the flow), necklaces, or good-luck charms in Southern and Appalachian folk traditions. Some are even used in hoodoo as love or luck amulets.
Legends and or folklore have it that Indians made whistles out of the baculum. Although there is no evidence to support it.

"Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from the government. It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a Constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights."
