Like what did you have in mind. The clubhouse that blew up in the microwave?

According to http://www.urbanlegends.com:

"An urban legend:

  • appears mysteriously and spreads spontaneously in varying forms.
  • contains elements of humor or horror (the horror often "punishes" someone who flouts society's conventions).
  • makes good storytelling.
  • does NOT have to be false, although most are. ULs often have a basis in fact, but it's their life after-the-fact (particularly in reference to the second and third points) that gives them particular interest."
We could make it a progressive story with one person starting it off and others adding to the tale until it's complete.

Anyone wanna start?

How about this?

I just got off the phone with my mom. She told me in Albuquerque, they are running advertisements on TV that say: Want to keep your cat with you forever? Try cat cloning!

It is true some people are actually cloning their cats and dogs. I hear it's very expensive to. I heard about this women in LA doing it. She said there was absolutely no difference, and that the Cat was just like the Cat she lost. She said she would tell anyone who love their Cats as much as she love her's to do it. Get your Cat clone today !

Maybe you could add a Stephen King - Pet Semitary type twist to the story. Although they looked identical to the original pets, they were soulless or something else was wrong with the clones.
