	This recently-added section covers a topic that was already included elsewhere in the article. Also, titling the new section "urban legend" suggests that the story might not be true, when it is actually quite well documented. The new text is good and probably ought to be merged with the earlier material, but it doesn't belong in a separate section. I don't have time to fix it right now; if I remember to come back, I will, but I'm flagging it in case I don't. ] (]) 20:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
