Myths? Those are some mighty wimply myths. You want myths, I got myths:

1. Hybrid cars are likely to blow up the city in an accident. False. The nuclear core on these cars will not explode. Instead it will melt through the street and turn up in Beijing.

2. Hybrid cars will improve your sex life. False. The back seats in these cars are just as uncomfortable as those of a conventional car. You cannot plug your vibrator into the batteries, either.

3. Hybrid cars will save the planet from Global Warming. False. Algore is the only one who can save the planet from Global Warming.

4. Hybrid cars will be in NASCAR some day. False. You can't put a restrictor plate on an electric motor.

5. Hybrid cars are popular in Hollywood because stars are eco-aware and concerned for our environment. False. It's because they've come up with an engine that runs on pure ego.

6. Hybrid cars deserve tax breaks because they're Good For The Planet. False. Tax breaks are only for the wealthy.

7. Hybrid cars are driven by Democratic politicians because they're a statement against Big Oil. False. It's because those particular models run on hot air.

8. Hybrid cars look great with fuzzy dice on the mirrors. True. But the dice have to be Metric.

9. Hybrid cars are impressive when you pick the hood up at an auto show. True, as long as you're wowed by the names "Evinrude" and "Briggs and Stratton."

10. Hybrid cars are gay. Undetermined. I did see a Prius humping a sheep dog the other day but I couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. The dog, that is.

Now those are some myths worth reading about.
