What happens on a Super Bowl Sunday?

Of course, the two top teams in NFL Football play but unfortunately, this is not something about that.

We heard about enough of them Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears already. Colts leader Peyton Manning has finally gotten over his personal ''Tom Brady hump'' in the playoffs whereas Bears quarterback Rex Grossman is in his first Super Bowl appearance on his first year as a starter.

With that said, ever wonder what happens during the big game? Ever wonder what happens to the rest of the world while the top team from the AFC and the NFC play to decide a Super Bowl champion? Here's some.

Super Bowl week, known for putting the ''hype'' in hyperbole, is a fertile time for sprouting tall tales. Call it the event that launched a thousand lies. I guess whoever said Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts won't make it to a Super Bowl is a lie now?

Two-thirds of all avocados sold in the United States are purchased for consumption during the Super Bowl. Don't ask me why.

Water department officials across the country fearfully await the ''halftime flush,'' when millions run to the bathroom at once, pushing water systems to the brink of calamity. Especially this Sunday when Rex Grossman will just be puking his guts out after every timeout with all this pressure playing in the biggest game of his life.

Are any of these stuff true? Who cares? Here's another one...

Lingerie sales jump in the days before the Super Bowl as women look for ways to woo their significant others away from the big game. Just don't let Chicago Bears MLB Brian Urlacher see them. You don't want a guy as big as that coming for you, trust me. Hell, he's tackling all these men on the field and they don't even wear lingerie. (I hope!)

Each of these nuggets of non-factual knowledge has a reasonable level of believability, giving them the potential to make other people say, ''Wow, I didn't realize that.'' One professor at the Folklore Institute at Indiana University, John McDowell, says this process is known as ''legend formation.''

''Something like the Super Bowl is an event that attracts a lot of hype, a lot of attention, people are talking about it,'' McDowell said, without a trace of hyperbole. ''A lot of people like to be witty, they like to be bright, they like to toss in a little anecdote that will catch people's attention.''
