Gang-
Tomorrow, my first work of dark fantasy fiction will be published. It is called 'The Trial' and its a coming of age story of a young officer named Stout. It is a novella, some 20k words, and the first in a series of stories that tell the tale of an elite military group called the MERC.
The website is as follows:

The cost is less than half of the price of a Christmas card ($1.99 US).
If you purchase it, I hope you like reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

That said, I would like to use this thread as a depository or repository for tales, myths and outright lies that you all have run across. That seems fun to me...
