Is A Dog's Mouth Cleaner Than A Human's?

No, a dog's mouth is not cleaner than a human's mouth. If this were true humans would be trying to figure out why and how humans can have very clean mouths. Many people can become ill after being bitten by a dog. It has been known for a long time that dog bites can cause diseases much more easily than other animals. Also, dogs use their mouths to clean themselves, so their tongue would have many germs on it. It is true though that humans mouths are the dirtiest places in their body dogs mouths are still not as clean. -John Baskin

Mario's full name?

This post is more of a question than an urban legend.
I was wondering what Mario from Super Mario Bros. last name is. I imagined that since it was called super mario bros. that his last name would be Mario. His full name would be Mario Mario and Luigi would be Luigi Mario. I then though that Mario might just be called by his last name and not use his first name.
I decided to research this and learned that Mario's last name is Mario. This was shown to be true by Super Mario Bros. Super show. There were other sources that says that it is called that just because Mario is the main character. I guess we'll have to wait for an interview with the creator of Mario. -John Baskin
