Comment: urban legends have been around for long time, Long enough for
legends to become involved in many aspects of life. Urban legends also
have been different genres (horror, humor). My question is, if you were to
define the genre for love, or romantics. How would you define that so that
it would be considered an urban legend? I know that they are usually about
a couple and something tragic happens in the end, that is supposed to turn
the listener away from something bad.

I do believe there is a blair witch. I do not think she murdered those people. I think you are a practical joke.

The blair witch will be re-appearing next year in "BLAIR WITCH! THE MUSICAL!"

"Ode to Spot"

Felis catis, is your taxinomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadriped, carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

Mr. Ruth loved Mrs. Ruth very, very much. After a while, Mrs. Ruth had a little babe. And a sports legend was born.

Dude... you left off some lines. But serious points for that much of it. One of my favorite Star Trek moments.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Comment: I heard a rumor that life insurance companies sell, on an annual
basis, $1 trillion life insurance policies, collect over $40 million in
annual premiums and payout roughly $19 million to insurance customers. Is
this information close to being correct?

I've never seen the musical, but this reminds me of a song from Camelot. "What do Simple Folks Do." Of course, I am taking a class on the King Arthur, so everything reminds me of the Arthurian Legend now.
