Urban Legends & Myths

Since Kristen brought up the vertical egg legend, I thought it would be a good time to recommend some sites that explore the truth behind various tales and emails that you may encounter.

Snopes.com
About.com:Urban Legends
Discovery Channel's MythBusters
Hoaxes, Scams, and Urban Legends - a list of links to hoax and urban legend/myth sites (including internet/email hoaxes) prepared by the Dillon School District Two in South Carolina

Check out Wikipedia's definition of urban legends, for information on how many of these stories begin.
