My single absolute favorite source of Urban Legend Lore is www.snopes.com, put up by the "San Fernando Valley Folklore Society".

My favorite 'legend'? May not really count as a legend, but it's a circulating email forward, designed to confound the FBI 'Carnivore' email privacy invading snoop program. If'n you haven't seen it, it's a diatribe against the program, interspersed every other word with "Sedition", "Terrorism", "Murder", "Narcotics", and other key words designed to send up a false flag for the snoops.
