Subject: RE: Urban myths (and legends)
One always seems to get stories spread by being forwarded by e-mail, those "Did You Know" attachments. One I received lately indicated that Winston Churchill was born in a ladies room during a dance, giving the impression that his mother was boogying the night away until misfortune befell her in the loo. The documentary I saw some time ago on A & E indicated that he was born in a small chamber at Blenheim after his mother went into labour while out riding.
