From Netsurfer Digest: Urban Legend Explorer We found this site to be a tad on the busy side. Nonetheless, it carries some great urban legend stuff, complete with references. Turns out that there really is a small basketball "court" at the top of Disneyland's Matterhorn, though not for the reasons commonly attributed to its existence. There are some 27 different areas of urban legends to explore, and plugging your way through all of them will take a fair amount of time. There's a veritable mountain of information in here. Who'd have known that Coca-Cola didn't become completely cocaine-free until 1929? And how about all those "quotes" that you know are true? You'll probably find that most of them aren't. What of the problems relating to the lethal - and omnipresent - dihydrogen monoxide compound? Oddly, it seems that a junior high student did indeed win a science fair by preparing a report about this substance. It's safe to say that there's something in here for almost everyone - although it may take a bit of drilling to find it. For the most part, however, this place is both entertaining and educational. Occasionally, that phrase isn't an oxymoron, and this is one of those occasions. <http://www.snopes.com/ulindex.htm>http://www.snopes.com/ulindex.<http://www.snopes.com/ulindex.htm>htm
