My understanding is the way the black market for kidneys usually goes is they offer poor people (usually women) money to sell their kidneys. They take the kidneys and sell them for big bucks, but the women get hardly anything, if at all. It's a tragedy.

Is Beyond Belief the one on SyFy (as the Sci-Fi Channel is now called)? If so, then I like that show too and wish they'd show it more often.

I'll have to talk more about this later, but I have a love/hate relationship with urban legends. Urban legends range from pure nightmare fuel to hilarious jokes. As I told Azu recently, I think my favorite joking urban legend is the one about the guy who sees an ad for a fifty dollar Porsche. He thinks that it has to be a typo, but answers the ad anyway because he figures that even a five thousand dollar Porsche is a bargain. A woman answers the door and responds that yes, fifty dollars is the price she's asking for. The guy figures there must be something wrong with the car, but she shows him the car and it looks great, and a test drive shows that it's in great working order and condition. He buys the car for fifty bucks and tells the lady, "I have to ask, why are you selling such a great car for such a ridiculously low price?" She explains, "My husband ran off with his secretary, and he told me to sell the house & car and send him the money."
