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?

peelmytangerines about the penguin tipping thingMy dad was one of the first people to go to a particular spot in the Antarctic, back in the early 50's. They were the first mob to ever take an aircraft down there (a single engined Beaver for all you plane spotters). I have in fact seen 16mm footage of herds (cluthches? rookeries? noun collectives?) of Adelie penguins taken from said low flying, slow flying aircraft, watching it approach, and promptly tipping over backwards as it continued overhead. Apparently, (there's that word again)though, they soon got used to it and stopped tipping en masse. Maybe some moved to the UK first...
