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?

Houston We Have A ProblemWhen in a pub a friend of mine arrived late saying he'd been watching Apollo 13 but it was too long and he was too desperate for a pint. Therefore he stopped watching just as they were attempting re-entry. He wanted to know what happened in the end so naturally I told him that they all died. I wasn't being cruel, I just didn't want to spoil the ending, honest! Of course he didn't bother watching the end and discovered his mistake several months later when lecturing someone about it. Apparently he went rather red when it was pointed out that the film was based on a book by one of the surviving astronauts.
This man is a practicing doctor and may well one day operate on you! Be afraid!
