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?

But snopes never lies!For about five years, I really believed the legend on Snopes that Mr. Ed (the horse on the American programme of the same name) was actually a zebra. I swore that stripes couldn't be captured by black and white television cameras, zebras are easier to train, and that the producers simply painted over his stripes when the show went to colour. No reasonable argument could shake my faith in the gospel that is snopes. That is, until I revisited the page several years later, clicked the "more information" link, and found the page saying I'd been had.
