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?

Brilliant story about Christopher WrenApparently, when the Guildhall at Windsor (recently of Charles and Camilia and Elton John and wife fame) became Christopher Wren's job, the commisioners didn't believe that the pillars would support the ceiling.
www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/guildhall/guildhall01.htm
In order to prove a point (and no doubt to piss them off) Wren added 4 pillars in the middle but made them an inch shy of the ceiling.
Hah! Guess he showed them. It's still standing 350 years later.
Wren's my hero.
