urban legend
A story, which may have started with a grain of
truth, that has been embroidered and retold until it has
passed into the realm of myth. It is an interesting
phenomenon that these stories get spread so far, so fast and
so often. Urban legends never die, they just end up on the
Internet! Some legends that periodically make their rounds
include "The Infamous Modem Tax", "Craig Shergold/Brain
Tumor/Get Well Cards", and "The $250 Cookie Recipe".
