 | | Many urban legends are about horrific crimes, contaminated foods or other situations that might affect a lot of people if they were true. | | | Urban legends often are born of fears and insecurities, or specifically designed to prey on such concerns. | | | Some urban legends have survived a very long time, evolving only slightly over the years, as in the case of the story of a woman killed by spiders nesting in her elaborate hairdo. |

| | One classic urban legend claims the pope's crown or Papal Tiara contains the words Vicarius Filii Dei which, when numerised, add up to 666, the number of the antichrist mentioned in the Bible. | | | Some urban legends actually have a basis in true events, such as the case of the young man shooting bullets into a large saguaro cactus and being killed when his gunfire severed the trunk, resulting in the falling plant crushing him. | | | Brunvand used his collection of legends to make two points: first, that legends, myths, and folklore do not belong solely to so-called primitive or traditional societies, and second, that one could learn much about urban and modern culture by studying such legends. |

| | Urban legends are primarily non-supernatural, secular narratives which are set in the real world. | | | Urban legends (alternatively described as contemporary, modern or belief, legends or myths) are short and highly mutable traditional narratives, or digests of narratives, which have no definitive texts, formulaic openings or closings, or artistically developed form, and so their traditional nature is not always immediately apparent. | | | While the rumors and legends associated with September 11th are numerous and varied, a remarkable percentage (I would estimate conservatively 60%) of the collected narratives from Canada, the US and the UK, focus on the theme of foreknowledge. |

| | The eTrex Legend has a built-in antenna, and gets very good receptions in most urban and rural environments, except in dense downtown skyscapes with sky visibility impeded by skyscrapers. | | | The eTrex Legend is part of a group of second-generation eTrex products that Garmin introduced around this time last year. | | | the Legend is second to the top-of-the-line, and due to the cheap prices nowadays, I would recommend getting the Legend (the unit I am reviewing here), since lower units have at most 1MB of map memory, which is not enough. |
