Re: [CTRL] Microwaved Water Urban Legend
An urban legend is a story or account that many would thinkis true but which in fact is not true. If the subject eventoccurs once, whether frequently or not, it is a true event; because it is true it cannot belegendary. The urban legend, therefore, refers to whether the thingdoes happen not that it happens once in awhile or frequently. And if it in fact happens the legend is no more fairytale.
