actually there is some truth to the Al disipating heat rumor. It's all due to the fact that aluminum has a lower specific heat than copper. it takes more energy to heat a mass of copper than an equal sized mass of aluminum. Likewise, aluminum also looses heat quicker. However, in most applications(ie. heatsinks) copper is the better metal for heat disipation.

This is not true. Copper dissipates heat faster because heat dissipation depends on conductivity and NOT specific heat capacity.
Now if you had said
temperature in place of heat your statement would have been correct, though irrelevent.
