Heard the one about Ian Huntley's invention - the Dustatic 101?
Or Roy Castle and his agoraphobia?
'While Huntley was working as the caretaker and manager of a team of cleaners in Soham Village College he sent a memo to the headmaster criticising the rotary floor polishers which sprayed a lot of dust around. He constructed a makeshift electro-static device and installed it on one of these polishers, and he found that it magnetically collected a lot of this dust. He applied for a patent in 2001 and approached the manufacturer of the polishers to make a deal whereby he would get royalties per unit. He was due to attend a meeting with the company in September 2002 when he was arrested for the Soham murders in August. In 2005 the UK Intellectual Property Office granted the patent. The company, Numatic International, has commented favourably about his invention, but in his new personality as the Soham murderer and reported homosexual and Islam convert in prison he refuses to allow any commercial company to develop his invention.
So there is a detectable hypocrisy in the prosecution case here, in the contradiction between the conscientious and resourceful caretaker behind the Dustatic invention, and the forensic evidence in which Huntley has fitted himself up with the black bin liner farce in his caretaker's bin'

'Throughout his adult life Roy Castle suffered from agoraphobia. For the greater part of his career as an entertainer he was unhindered by the condition - but his role as the main presenter of Record Breakers proved challenging at times. Unfortunately for Roy, many of the multi-person record-breaking attempts were recorded in the vast BBC TC1 studio at Television Centre. At 995 square metres (10,250 ft²), TC1 is one of the largest television studios in Europe. The prospect of several hundred hula-hooping schoolgirls or bagpiping soldiers inside a large studio would cause Roy great anxiety. However, he prided himself on being a professional entertainer and he improvised many novel ways of managing his condition'

The Ian Huntley one has made it onto the David Icke pages and seems to be accepted as fact by a number of people. It's all total bollocks however, as is the Roy castle one. Some variations of the story have Castle jumping into a large Whicker basket which is placed off sat, followed by Cheryl Baker jumping on top of it to provide a 'reassuring presence'.
How do I know that it's all bollocks? A colleague at work knows this super intelligent guy who is also a renegade Wikipedia vandal and he regularly updates the Wikipedia pages of people who have been in the public eye with preposterous but slightly believable stories about them. By the time Wikipedia is amended, the story is out there - seized upon by people with an agenda or othere reasons.
Also, on the subject of the mobile phone in petrol stations issue. The thinking was that the signal from the phone may induce sparks in metal, however despite the fact that this has now been disproven, it still seems to be accepted as fact!
