Hey...has anyone been watching "Urban Legends" on the Biography Channel? It is very similar to the program that used to play called "Beyond Belief" hosted by Jonathan Frakes. They both portray (for the viewer) three different case scenarios and leave the viewer to try to figure out which ones are true and which ones are false. I really miss "Beyond Belief" but "Urban Legends" is pretty much the same thing. Cool show.
Anyway... last night one of the three episodes was about a World War II parachute jumper that ended up a prisoner of war. When he landed on the ground he fractured his vertebrae at the C5/6 level. When he was in his prison cell... it was so small that he was forced to stay completely in one position on his back. Even though how terrible that must have been... by doing that it saved his life as far as being a quadriplegic for the rest of his life because, by being forced to stay in that position, his spine and vertebrae did not paralyze him. *This was the third story of three and the true one!* What is eerie here he is that that guy's name was B (Billy?) Boyd and when they first started talking I thought they were talking about the Boyd that was on this list! Anyway... I rarely watch television but it seems to have been coming on just as I have been getting ready to take my medicine than getting into position for bed so I have caught several of episodes and t*hey are great to try and guess what is real and what is not as far as the stories portrayed during an hour or half hour. * -- Lori C4/5 complete quad, 28 years post Tucson, AZ
