This is a question Urban Legends

I'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?

Mount Everest
Back when I was at school we had a gang of hippies come in to tell the whole school about some trip thing to Indinesia, walking up mountains and stuff. My maths teacher wasn't best impressed that we had got dragged out of his class to hear this crap. He spent the next 25 minutes explaining to us that since Everest had been conquered many years ago it was easy for anyone to do it now. 'There are stairs up most parts of it and there's a Tesco's near the top', he said complete with illustrations on the blackboard.
I was the smart-ass in a class of dumbfucks who all believed it straight away but eventually even I believed. Once he was done he just says 'did you lot believe that?' 'Yes' the answer replied, 'even you Ross? (me)', 'yes for a bit.' He laughed solidly for the next 10 minutes, tears streaming down his face.

cnut but still quite a sound teacher.
