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?

The Penguin Story, againmoonat8: My wife, the charming Mrs Duck, also swears by the "idiot mental kid taking a penguin home" story.
She claims it was her best friend from school's six-year-old son on a visit to Marwell Zoo, famed for its lack of security guards patting you down for stolen animals at the exits. The kid kept asking if "penguins like the dark, mum" all the way home, the offending bag rattling around in the boot of the car.
The Mrs Duck version of events says her friend took the penguin straight back, but they still had her arrested, and the courts stung her for 600 quid.
"It must be true - it was in the Evening Post!" she wails, yet I believe her not.
