	Howstuffworks "Introduction to How Urban Legends Work"
		Generally speaking, an urban legend is any modern, fictional story, told as truth, that reaches a wide audience by being passed from person to person.
		Particular urban legends may be spread either as fact or as a story.
		Typically, urban legends are characterized by some combination of humor, horror, warning, embarrassment, morality or appeal to empathy.

	Urban legend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban legends are a kind of modern folklore consisting of stories often thought to be factual by those circulating them (see rumor).
		Urban legends are sometimes repeated in news stories and, in recent years, distributed by e-mail.
		Urban legends often are born of fears and insecurities, or specifically designed to prey on such concerns.

	A Look at Urban Legends: the Gothic Outweighs the Enlightened
		Labeled urban not so much for their setting but to separate them from age-old folklore, urban legends are also referred to as "contemporary legends." Urban legends are ambiguous in nature and are thus an element of the gothic.
		Urban legends also differ from myths or folktales in that the narrative deals only with the span of time in which the legend occurs; there is no past or future.
		Urban legends are either left in limbo, as in "the haunted house is still haunted, the vanishing hitchhiker continues to appear and disappear" (Bennett IX) or we never find out what happens to the victim.

		As we saw in the last section, many urban legends are about particularly heinous crimes, contaminated foods or any number of occurrences that could affect a lot of people if they were true.
		Many people believe an urban legend must be true because it is reported by a newspaper, or other "authoritative source." The persistence of Halloween stories (razors in apples, needles in candy) is an example of this.
		Urban legends are spread in cultures all over the world.

		The accuracy of drug testing reflects both chemical factors which influence test outcome, such as sensitivity or test cutoff (the least amount of detectable drug) and specificity (how selective the test is for the drug) as well as pharmacological considerations such as drug dose, time of drug use and route of drug administration.
		When a drug is taken intravenously or smoked, the absorption of the drug into the body is nearly instantaneous and its excretion in urine begins almost immediately.
		Drug absorption into the body is slower when the drug is taken orally and its excretion in urine may be delayed for several hours.

		However, the extra-medical use of the drug in Western society in the middle years of the twentieth century led to a political firestorm that resulted in the banning of the substance for medical as well as recreational and spiritual uses.
