I personally would like to see a catalogue of classic urban legends stored somewhere in the 'pedia. I know there are any number of excellent sites out there (urbanlegends.com, snopes.com, etc) but frnaklyfrankly I'm still getting ridiculous emails about how "Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in 1986" and "Dunking Donuts employees burned the US Flag to celebrate Sept 11". We can't have too many page that dismiss this kind of insulting and often hurtful rubbish.
 
Before I proceed, I'm keen to get some other input. - [[MMGB]]

I certainly have no objection to coverage of specific legends here. Titling may be difficult. A few seem simple: "Blue star LSD", "Kidney theft". Legends about subjects with their own articles can be covered there--"Baghdad Betty" will certainly mention the "Bart Simpson" report. But others will have to have long, specific titles like "Urban legend of ..." Perhaps they might be grouped into large articles with collections of such legends? -- [[user:Lee Daniel Crocker|Lee Daniel Crocker]]
 
:How about "Kidney Theft (urban legend)", "JK Rowlings is a Satanist (urban legend)" etc? The Urban Legend page could then contain x-refs. [[MMGB]]
