My friend actually believed this. He was playing with a vegetable peeler, and his mum told him not to. When he asked why, she said "That's how Grandpa died." His grandpa had actually died of cancer when he was very young, so he had no reason not to believe this. As he got older he started to question it, as vegetable peelers aren't very sharp. He finally confronted his mum when he was about thirteen and she denied ever having said it. She still does now.
