Ok, I really like the little rumor things in the "What you hear" section of Unknown Armies. Each one, is, basically, a plot seed in about one line. They are great. Crazy enough to be interesting, compelling enough to believe.
So, let's come up with some. I'll go first:
Contrary to popular belief, Post-It Note glue is not made from toad mucus. The truth is far more sinister...
Milk contains specially treated particles that shut off the part of your brain that lets you see the rulers of the world for what they really are. Now to kill all the cows....
Food and Water are not "neccessities," they are drugs, the most addictive drugs on Earth. Long ago, a cabal of powerful men, now known as the Illuminati, introduced these substances to mankind in order to control us. Go without food and water for long enough and you can kick the habit. It's true. I did it...
The statue of Liberty really is naked under the toga, and she's so beutiful a cult has formed arond her. They abduct tourists and burn them in her torch so she'll smile on them with her favor.
You remember the '80s? No you don't. It never happened. Did you really believe that an entire country would embrace leg warmers, mullets, Ronald Regan, and the sweet sound of the sine wave? All of it was created, and sloppily.

Everyone you have ever slept with is part of a cult. The same cult. They view sleeping with you as some sort of sacrament. Some of the cultists genuinely fell in love with you. Others didn't. The question you should ask yourself is, "Does any of this matter?" If so, why?
