I can't tell you how many times a week my stupid friends in Marketing forward me utter rubbish about Bill Gates giving away money, or photos of giant cats. If you're equally prone to such 'humourous' emails, and/or have a hard time knowing what's real and what isn't (in this context, or generally), or just want to find writing inspiration in the urban legends that have been floating around since forever, then spend a diverting afternoon with the Urban Legends Reference Pages. I'll bet you'll find at least one thing (the origin of the word 'posh' was mine) that you thought was true but wasn't.
