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?

BerlesconiA few of us on p45rant.com dreamt up a bunch of media pranks a few years ago - the most infamous one involved claiming that in a fit of nationalism, that Berlusconi was demanding a Carravaggio painting back from the Irish National Gallery, on the basis that it was Italian. That story made the front page of the daily broadsheet, the Irish Independent.
More of our pranks
"Since we're coming clean, because 5-7 Live exposed us yesterday, yes, P45.net did write the following stories of recent months: Monaghan Association in New York St Patrick's Day Parade Row; Mysterious underground tunnels under Clontarf; new taxi fleet to offer cheap fares to dublin airport; New minimum walking speed for Dublin; Liam Lawlor - the movie; Glenn Crowe to become first Eircom League million transfer; Berlusconi demands immediate repatriation of 'Ireland's' Caravaggio. In case you missed the originals...."
