However some fans, assumung that it was Michael and knowing the name of the funeral parlour (imaginatively) came up with the following transcript which many others then took as being what the clipping said ... which in reality it doesn't...Some fan sucessfully wrote this extapolation on what they read and using some bits of known info managed to create the urban legend that the clipping mentioned a son. The reality no son is mentioned BUT through forums people read it and post it as fact, obviously they have not bothered to do any work themselves by looking at the clipping.

The same can be said for the urban myth that Carlton and Damon said no time travel. The reality from podcast 1 they constantly refer to time travel!

Some Lost fans trust what they read from other posters and see it as fact, especially if it ties in with their beliefs! However these people are not really able to back up their views as their assertions are based on the mythology of some fans, not on the reality of the show.
