    Where your analogy may be true technically, I speak from colloquialism, where my 'simple' answer gets the job done.<--- LOL Remember, I am from redneck America. To me, legends are passed on stories from one generation to the next, also to me, a 'myth' is a legend. I use them interchangeably as many people from my corner of the world would also believe. :) Are you sure you never watched 'Big Bang Theory'-- You gotta check out Dr. Sheldon Cooper PhD.. LOL (that's a complement)
