Dry Bones cartoon
Urban legends. I'm not sure if I ever really believed the story of Alligators in the NY sewer system. Incredibly, a NY Times piece from 1936 documents the capture of a NY sewer alligator. But it took the creation of the Internet to really facilitate the rapid spread of unbelievable 21st century urban legends and conspiracy theories.
