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?

6th form drop outsa mate of mine left school just before 6th form. he was a bit of a legend in his own right already due to various misdemeanors and being a bit of a psycho (he punched out the headmaster several times)
I spread a few ridiculous rumours about the poor chap. some where believed, others were dispelled immediately as 'Grizz being Grizz'
these rumours include:
1: he lost his arm in a machinery accident and got a hook instead of a prosthetic
2: he lost his legs in a machinery accident and had them both replaced by a unicycle
3: he was a dad (this turned out to be true)
4: he was an amateur wrestler
number 4 was the most widely believed one, since there were amateur wrestling show posters everywhere. last i heard 16 people from my school bought tickets just cause they thought he was involved.
