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?

wizard of ozthis one's probably already posted, but I haven't seen it...
...I was told by a friend that one of the midgets in Wizard Of Oz hung himself on set and no one noticed, and that if you watch you can see him hanging from a tree. he also said that because the person who owned the copyright for the film was dead, the studios are now no longer allowed to edit it out so it's there forever.
I remember thinking it made cock all sense (they didn't notice him hanging there until the film had been edited and shipped? likely...) and thanks to snopes I now know it's just bollocks.
mind you, the bloke who told me does like his conspiracy theories - his dad writes books about JFK and stuff, and apparently JFK's murder happened pretty much exactly like in the Oliver Stone filum. aPpArReNtLy his dad's got some really damning evidence that it was a CIA conspiracy, but can't publish it because he'll be killed
erm....sorry for off topic. could delete it, but I'd hate to see it go to waste
