Years ago, 1967 or '68 I believe during the month of May, John Totten and I were in the pit area one morning at the Speedway idly discussing the latest rumor stirring the rumor mill.
Together we decided to try something just for laughs, each of us would start a rumor and see how long it took before "our" rumor got back to each of us, and how much it had changed during the trip.
We only tried this for a few days because it became to scary.
Never did it take more than half a day before someone told us our "secrets" and sometimes you had to use your imagination to recognize it.
I can remember as a kid someone told me the moon was made out of green cheese, and I believed it.
Since those few days at the Speedway I don't worry much about rumors
