    Killerbill from Essex says:
    "1: That Amy Whinehouse can write songs and sing.
    2: That Pete Dogherty can write songs and sing.
    3: That Coldplay write and play rock music.
    4: That the Spice Girls are a real group.
    5: That Guns n Roses will make a new album.
    6: That Roger Waters is necessary for Pink Floyd to play live.
    7; That there's any other radio station than Virgin (All Hail the OC, we are not worthy).
    8: That Alison Goldfrapp wants to have your children.
    9: That X Factor can make you a star.
    10: That any of my opinions count for anything."
    1. False. Many of the lyrics and keys used in Winehouse's recordings have to be provided by someone else due to the poor translation availability from her home planet.
    2. True. He can. He just chooses not to.
    3. Unknown. I've researched this myth heavily and can find no hard evidence to suggest that coldplay write and perform their own material. Nor could I find any evidence to suggest Chris Martin's new hair is real.
    4. Who?
    5. False. Slash is now exclusively tied to Nintendo for the next 100 years as the lead in enough Guitar Hero sequels to ensure the most possible sales of the ugliest, most pointless peripheral ever invented.
    6. False. Finally realising that 'playing live' and 'playing well' were two different things, the band decided to settle for just playing live.
    7. True. Recent research has led to the discovery of several frequencies believed to be used for government propaganda messages. Station names follow a strict coding sequence generally beginning with BBC...
    8. True. Page 48 of Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
    9. False. It actually makes you a minor irritation on the ass of humanity. (See also; winnets, tag-nuts, klingons, pebbles, after-wipe.)
    10. False. They must count for something or else I wouldn't have spent 20 minutes coming up with all this crap! :P
    Keep smilin' :D
