[edit] Lids for legs
search for http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=%22Lids+for+legs%22&btnG=Search produces 19 hits. Possibly a hoax. Josh Parris#: 06:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

- Comment--I remember some of my classmates collecting soda tabs to donate to some charity to make wheelchairs with. I can't verify any of the article, though. Lmblackjack21 13:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and clean up I too remember collecting the lids off cans while at school to make wheelchairs. It is not a hoax but it may be known by a different name, I don't know.Firelement85 14:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Sounds like other hoaxes where people collect pop tabs for some good cause, like this one at Snopes: [1]. Sounds like complete bollocks, on the theory that somehow if the artificial legs were made out of whole pop cans they would be various colors. Pull the other leg, it's got pull-tabs on it. God bless good hearted people who love to collect things of little value for a good cause. Edison 15:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Has all the weird complexity and detail of the urban legend. (e.g. the precise ratio of tabs to artificial legs--bollocks!) The Snopes article shows ther pervasiveness of the pop-tab myth that had people in your schools uselessly collecting all those tabs for people in wheelchairs. Darkspots 17:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
