Did Bruno Kirby die before City Slickers 2?
That is a urban legend. Bruno Kirby passed away in 2006. I have heard the same thing that he did pass away before City Slickers 2 and that is why Jon Lovitzs was cast for the movie instead. However after going to Imdb.com and looked
up Bruno Kirby I found that he didn't die before 1994. People and the news make up urban legends, myths and gossip. They said the same thing about Bob Hope saying he died in the late 90's. Why Bruno Kirby wasn't in City Slickers 2 is a mystery to me.

A chupacabra , is a mysterious creature in Mexico that drains the fluids from animals and allegedly has attacked people as well. Its name (originally chupacabras) is Spanish for "goat sucker."
It has various descriptions ranging from reptilian to bluish wolf-like creatures. In Mexican and Latin American folklore, the chupacabra has mystical or supernatural powers. In some cases, it has become connected to aliens, or other cryptids such as flying or shape-changing creatures.
There have been numerous hoaxes and misidentifications, and the existence of an actual species of creature currently has no scientific evidence to support it.
Do Asian people really eat dogs?
It depends on which "Asians" you mean.
China has both dog and cat meat, but they're not very common. Koreans and Vietnamese do have dog meat, but they do not usually have cat meat. Japanese do not eat cats or dogs.
Mainstream South East Asians (excluding Vietnam) do not eat dogs or cats at all. This is because a significant portion of them are Muslims, and the consumption dog and cat meat is a sin in Islam. Singaporeans and Thais usually view dogs and cats as pets, and consider eating them taboo.
Most Indians do not eat dogs, but there is a small tribal region that does. Central and West Asians are predominantly Muslim and so they do not eat dogs.
Also, cat and dog eating is not something purely Asian. Both cats and dogs are eaten in places in Europe, Africa and even America.

Is it true that if you pour coke on pork the pork will have maggots in about two hours?
This is an urban legend. The only way to birth maggots on your pork is to leave it outside. Coke has nothing to do with this urban legend. I have performed such experiments in controlled environments and can confirm maggots do not develop due to the introduction of Coke. What you might see is:
1. Residue from the carbonation that has coagulated the protein structure of the pork.
2. Acids that have started to cook the pork and brought out amino acids that were inside the pork.
I would have to say, this "legend" holds true when you get the cheap pork, as it has been tested with various "brands" of pork, and some worked and some didn't. My suggestion, go get yourself some expensive pork, and some cheap pork and a good bottle of coca cola and try this out for yourself. Remember to wash your hands because I don't eat pork because pigs don't sweat (sweating is a way to rid your body of toxins) No, it's not maggots. What happens is that the fats rise to the surface of the pork, which is caused by the bubbles in the coke. It's just fat. It's not alive nor is it any kind of parasite. It's just another part of the pork, hidden beneath the meat. It's not a "maggot," it's called a "trichina worm," a small slender parasitic nematode, which infests the intestines of various mammals,including the "pig"! It doesn't matter whether the pork is expensive or cheap,it only matters how you cook it.(Well,that's if you're going to eat it!) Raw or improperly cooked pork can KILL YOU!It's not good for you,and I'm counting on that after you've seen this video,pork will be the last thing to touch your plate. It's hard to know if you've been infected by these worms (having trichinosis) because almost all people with trichinosis show no symptoms - and some people have found the disease in autopsies of people who never knew that they were infected!
