Modern Myths

11:15 AM -- Yesterday's Guardian ran another of its ever popular lists -- The myths that won't die... The "top 10 modern fairytales":

  • The Abominable Snowman

  • Nessie

  • Hollow Earth

  • Crystals

  • Elvis

  • Electronic smog

  • Telepathy

  • Fairies

  • Big cats in Britain

  • Angels

A very British list, of course ("pumas in Penge?"). Our beloved Bigfoot gets no mention, nor Intelligent Design (or is that an ancient myth?), and the author feels UFOs are a dead letter in the U.K.

It's good to know, though, that Elvis has graced the Sceptered Isle. Long live the King!
