About this title

Synopsis

A tornado in South Dakota picked up a passenger train, spun it around in mid air, and placed it back on the tracks facing the opposite direction - A man in Mexico was stabbed to death by dry spaghetti during a hurricane - A scuba diver was found at the top of a charred tree, after fire-fighting planes deposited water from a nearby lake on to a forest fire - Three men jumping from a plane without open parachutes landed safely after their fall was broken by a cloud containing hailstones - New York sewers are alive with alligators - Want to hold an audience? Then equip yourself with a good supply of urban myths, those ever popular - if ever unreliable - tests of truth and gullibility. The Book of Urban Myths is an unputdownable collection of runaway rumours for all who enjoy a good yarn, or want to avoid being spun such in the future - a hugely entertaining read that will enlighten the credulous and surprise even the most hard-nosed cynics.
