Subject: RE: Urban myths (and legends)
Yeah, Ron, but half of the stories above were told to me by nuns - so they must be true, right????

With 16 years of Catholic education, I knew lots of urban myths long before they came to be known as such. I swear that most of those stories were made up by nuns. The Good Sisters were probably supposed to be praying, and they got bored and started making up stories instead. I have to say, though, that most of the nuns I've known have been absolutely wonderful women. Some were absolutely brilliant, too - but they weren't the ones who told the good stories.
