Among the quotes, song lyrics, and article snippets I adorned my notebooks and laptop with when writing Generation Dead is the following urban legend:

You can read the complete story here at Snopes.com.
Snopes rules. I highly recommend surfing that site, where you can find out if B.F. Skinner really raised his daughter in a Skinner box, if my hero Walt Disney was really put in cryogenic storage, and some interesting facts about Philip Pullman.
I drink an awful lot of Diet Pepsi when I write.
