Urban LegendsI'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell for the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street" story some years back. It just seemed so right. I still want it to be true.
What have you fallen for, or even better, what legends have you started?

I was working in a well-known supermarket whilst at school......and I persuaded one of the brainless people there that the USA had worked out that a guided missile cost the same as 500,000 Coke cans - so instead of missiles, they were sometimes dropping these by the hundreds of thousands. When he asked why they would do that, I asked him to imagine the cumulative damage that they would cause, especially when dropped from a great height. Plus they were freely and readily available.
He bought it and started telling colleagues. They sussed straight away that someone had spun this yarn to him and went along with it. Either that, or they believed it too.
Halcyon days.
