medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: John Dillon <[log in to unmask]>
> With respect to Kerry's cited instance, this is treated by the well-
regarded snopes.com as an urban legend:
> http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/swimsprm.htm
> It is conceivable (no pun intended?) that snopes.com is being
excessively sceptical here. But that this story apparently circulates
widely on the Internet without credible supporting documentation puts
the onus of establishing its bona fides on those who proffer it in the
course of serious argumentation. Lacking such support, the story
remains gossip.
