"An urban legend, urban myth, or urban tale is a form of modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those circulating them. The term is often used to mean something akin to an apocryphal story. Like all folklore, urban legends are not necessarily false, but they are often distorted, exaggerated, or sensationalized over time." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend
