another one which floated around was that tampons contained asbestos

thankfully both bullshit

a couple of others which wouldn't have bothered me if they were true;

Bob Holness played the sax on the song Baker Street

Duffy is Shakin' Stevens daughter

Milk was added to the water to make the rain more visible to the camera in the iconic scene with Gene Kelly singin' and dancin' in the rain, in the film "Singin' in the Rain".

Untrue!

Co-director of the film, Stanley Donen:

"There have been a lot of stories about how we put milk in the water so you could see the rain. It’s not true."

http://genekellyfans.com/musicals/myth-sitr/

Gene Kelly's widow Patricia Kelly:

"There was no milk."

My mate Dave insists it was Bob Hoskins who played the sax

He's one of those people who makes stuff up all the time just to sound clever and instead sounds like an idiot. He was out metal detecting and someone found a kid's cap gun - Dave immediately announced that they had found a "medieval duelling pistol". He also claimed Where Eagles Dare was a true story and that south facing beaches always have low tides.

Strictly speaking this is true. When a cat holds up one paw it will be followed by a thunderstorm. However, there is no time frame stipulated, it could be minutes, hours or decades later, but there WILL be a thunderstorm. It is also not specified WHERE said thunderstorm will happen.

^^^ Me too!!

Waves, when coming into the shore, indicate the tide is coming in.
This little fact was uttered to me by a girlfriend. I thought she may have had very good nautical knowledge so when I asked what the waves do when the tide's going out, she was somewhat stumped!

A spider will walk across your body during your sleep at least five times per year.
