What is your fave Urban Legend? Alligators in the sewers of New York City? A guard dog found with the fingers of a burglar in his throat?
The drunk driver who finds the dead body of a young girl embedded in his car's grill?
VW Beetle found crushed between two trucks?
Young boy dies from eating Pop Rocks and drinking Soda?

the baby in the oven one. That one is a keeper. Sad thing is is that I have heard that this has really happend. Oh wait, that is what makes it a Urban legend right?:) but no, I have heard outside of legend, and in papers that back in the late 70's or 80's that someone really did this.
