I miss the pre-snopes days when we didn't flash high beams at someone with lights off at night because they were probably in a gang and would kill people who did that. Pretty hard to have an urban legend anymore.

People didn't let their kids go trick or treating 5 years ago because the entire country thought there were killer clowns running loose.

That actually included some arrests for threatening behavior involving clowns because everyone's a copycat now-a-days.
