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 StoryFriend of a friend story. This lad a mentally retarded younger brother, let's call him Kevin, who got taken on a trip to the zoo with a bunch of other kids. All the kids were rounded up at the end of the day except for Kevin. They eventually found him wet through and muttering to himself with his rucksacj on his lap. They asked him how he got wet but he just continued to mutter so they took him back to the coach. His Mum picked him up from the school, took him home and told him to go and run a bath to get warmed up. Later she heard lots of splashing around and giggling comnig from upstairs, she went upstairs to find Kevin standing next to the bath watching a penguin have a swim, his open, empty rucksack next to him.
I believed this until someone else told me the same story. My friend convinced me that it was a true story and that he'd met this mental kid!
