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?

PepsiA little after 9/11 there was a rumor spreading around that went something like this:
My friends, friends, grandmother walked into the local 7/11 and was buying a gallon of milk. The Arabian man in front of her was buying something but he was a few cents short for the purchase. The grandmother notices and lends the man the money needed to complete the transaction. The guy thanks her and then walks out of the store. Grandmother then buys her milk and walks out of the store. As she steps out the door she recognizes the man she had just lent money to. He approaches her and thanks her for being so generous and as a thank-you he warns her to not drink Pepsi and then leaves. Apparently he supposed to be a terrorist thats going to poisen Pepsi somehow. I heard this from enough people to start to wonder how many times this guy had come up short changed and then realized it probably wasn't true. Didn't matter to me anyway, I don't drink soda.
