I'm constrained to point out that the birth of Jesus is NOT a myth, although it's fairly well established that he probably wasn't born in December. (More likely in the spring.) In any case, he's a well-documented historical figure, and the Romans had records on the events leading up to his execution. Whether he was of divine origin is a separate question, and is a matter of religious belief.

As for the chapter length of various stories, a few of us have had 10,000-word chapters, not just Shane. The two LTDI chapters that have been posted to date are about 11,500 and 10,700 words, respectively, the first chapter of TDIwriter's latest story was something like 11,100 words, and the latest chapter of Rhonda's story is a full 20,000 words. The reigning champion, though, is the (apparently dead) story, Total Drama the New Challenge, by UltimateTORINOR. One of TDNC's chapters clocks in at 26,500 words, and all of its chapters are pretty long.
