Urban Legends: Difference between revisions

* [http://www.darwinawards.com The Darwin Awards] has a major collection of urban legends, debunked [[Too Dumb to Live|Darwin Awards]] that are just too good (or popular) to delete.

* [[The Slender Man Mythos]] is a [[Memetic Mutation|memetically-spread]] loosely-defined canon of horror fiction that uses the general trappings of urban folklore (missing children in the woods, mysterious stalkers, and the fact that no two tellings of the same tale are exactly the same) to pretty creepy effect. It worked, too, considering how many [[Daydream Believer|people]] think it's true.

* [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shiny-pidgey#.TkJcOoI8mso The Shiny Pidgy Story] is both a meme and an urban legend of epic proportions.
