Urban Legend Fuel
Someone mentioning why Kentucky Fried Chicken was renamed KFC reminded me of this, and I havent started one of these threads in quite a while.
This is the idea: come up with something that is com[plete garbage, but is just weird enough to sound plausible, and post it as an urban legend. These always turn into pages of people posting existing urban legends, but that isnt what its for . TRY TO MAKE UP NEW ONES.
For fun, take some and post them as truth on other boards you may be a part of and see if they take off :D
I'll get it started:
New employees of Starbucks are required to read Moby Dick and write an essay about what it meant to them.
Since he is a descendant of Herman Melville (which is true). Moby sued Starbucks successfully for copywrite infringement for the use of the name. His suit against Battlestar Galactica's producers failed, but he has appealed the verdict.
... Moby is a tool, so a little bad press is deserved :p
