Subject: RE: Urban myths (and legends)
Alan, wonderful song, thanks for sharing.

Jen, the cookie recipe one certainly is going around, I got it from my sister a couple of months ago.

Note that even though urban legends may not be strictly true in the historical sense, they do often reveal the true feelings of the perpetuators on the subject of the legend. For example, it was obvious that when my sister sent me the cookie recipe, she at least felt sympathetic to the feeling of anger at large corporations making unreasonable profits by charging unreasonable prices.
