We speculated about UFO's and the Bermuda Triangle, almost wishing those things were real. Eventually, it became clear that most of those things were just myths, even though in high school, I had friends who still thought Professional Wrestling was "real".
It seems now that there are just new, more quasi-scientific myths, like people dying from eating peanuts or green tea curing all ailments.
Personally, I prefer to fantasize about Sasquatch flying around the Bermuda Triangle in a spaceship with Elvis, eating peanut butter and bacon with a spork.
