Now I understand why I bombed Physics and aced history. I must admit while I thought I would be totally lost, You guys really explained it well and concisely. Urban legends, The song La Llarona deals with a Mexican or Mexican American legend of a mother who murdered her baby if I remember correctly. Of course the story of Lorelei is a German folktale dealing with the musical siren luring sailors on the Rhine river to their doom. If I can come up with others I'll let you know. Neil
