Anyone know of any websites where I can read some Urban Legends? I know about snopes.com but if you know any others, I'd appreciate it :)
Thanks :)

Gosh, snopes.com is the best one that I know. But you could try a web search for the alt.folklore newsgroup, they have alot of material achived on the web. If you do a search for the Darwin awards, and go to thier web site, sometimes they have to debate over whether a story that's been posted is an actual story, or an urban legend, before they can make a determination whether it is eligible for an award. For the benefit of anyone reading this that doesn't know what the Darwin award is, the Darwin award is awarded post humously, to someone who has improved the gene pool by dying from some amazingly stupid act, and improved the gene pool basically by not being around to reproduce, and pass on stupidity genes...

Snopes is pretty much the end-all for that stuff right?
