Tales Told Out of School; Urban Myths

Why do we tell each other urban myths? They're always so extreme and fantastic that, really, the rational mind knows they can't be true. But not only do we tell them anyway; we, in fact listen to them as well. Maybe these fantastic set of circumstances just might be real after all! The Urban myth has a lot in common with traditional myths and folklore, in the way they satisfy a need for storytelling. It may be that the Urban Myth expresses a feeling that we live in a world that might actually be in total chaos. Be good. Do well. Enjoy the show!
