Over time, my 'urban legend' bullshit detector has been refined, and is much improved from earlier in my life.

I have, on a few occasions, found myself relating some 'fact' or 'story' and realized immediately that it was likely an urban legend. Both times, the detector was right, and a quick search cleared it up.

I wonder if there is a good way to intentionally 'paw through' your repository on purposes, and apply your life experience to them on purpose.
