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?

men lactatingThe phenomenon of non-puerperal lactaction (lactating outside of breast feeding, regardless of gender) is called galactorrhoea. It's a recognised medical condition.
It is a fairly frequent side-effect with atypical antipsychotic medication (such as risperidone) and is caused by an increase in prolactin, a hormone which stimulates milk production and is, unsurprisingly, usually produced and secreted during pregnancy.
It's far from an urban myth and can be quite disturbing - if you're schizophrenic (or even if you're not), the last thing you want as a bloke is to suddenly start lactating.
I once fell for the 'dog being put down because of anal sex' urban myth
