Originally by: Weebear I convinced my mate that Drop Bears were real before he went to Australia, and we played the same trick on a Swede guy who used to play Eve.
Although the funniest thing ever still has to be convincing 2 year olds that you have "stole their nose"....
Ok, so I get that they are not real, but what the hell is a drop bear?

The story as I got told it is that a Drop Bear is a carnivorous Koala Bear. Koala Bears although they appear cute and cuddly are only kept sedate due to chemicals in the eucalyptus leaves they eat. If a Koala Bear goes too long without eucalyptus it will become vicious and attack humans by dropping on them from trees.
I believe the Aussies have different versions of this though, and this explanation isn't the most common! |

my mother runs a bed and breakfast up in the highlands, and has succeeded in not only getting americans to fall for the "haggis are animals" routine, but also that it's traditional to hunt for the haggis with a spear, and a particular type of haggis-hunter's kilt.
and the spectacularly dim couple proceeded to a local kiltmakers where the bloke did indeed ask for a haggis-hunter's kilt...
which was sold to them.
personally, my fondest memory is of the blone bint in lasson, CA, whose reaction was "oh my gawd! you're from Scot-Land?... Do you have television there?" "aye, but the rreception in our cave is terrrible" "really?" yes, we managed to convince the eejit that we all lived up in caves in scotland.
after taking the p*** out of people falling for comments about scotland, the next most fun is improbable stories about Goths...
I've managed to convince one person that the reason goths wear boots with long pointy toes is that their feet are naturally that shape, and people with that shape feet always become goths as a result of being ostracised from society...
I've also convinced one "normal" that the woman he was lusting after in a goth club was actually a guy in drag. That stopped them letching after the poor girl... We then got him eyeing up someone who was'nt a woman... an arrangement that managed to last for several weeks untill he got a bit of a shock trying to chat 'em up. Strange that they never went back to that club then...
All the goths I know live in coffins. it's traditional. even the ones who are married. Double coffin. honest.
We actually wear black and a little white because the Goth community is comprised of sufferers of the rare illness "Obscura Monochromia", that means we can only see in black and white, like an old film. as a result it's always really difficult to see what colours are what, so we go for all black or all white mostly, because we end up in multicolour accidents otherwise. of course, only seeing the world in black and white is very depressing, hence why we're all miserable.
Goths really are a 1,500 year old culture, and when we first sacked rome, they were recorded to chant "hey, no, hey now, now, sing this corrosion to me"., as they wrecked the city. The tradition's been going on ever since. really.
ah, goths. we're too easy to make parodies of that people can't even tell :)

My ex-wife and her family lived in South Carolina. Down there, there is always an access road adjoining the interstate highway, and it's usually called "Frontage Road".
So there are exits from the highway for Frontage Road everywhere.
One day, my then-wife asked, "why do they call it Frontage?"
And I told her the tale of the mythical French explorer, Jacques Frontage, who made his way across the swamps of South Carolina in the early 1700s...
This convinced her so well, that she told her mother, and they told the other relatives.
To this day, they all believe it.

yer why is it that peeps from U.S feel we in UK are sumwhat backwards? My mate from PA still thought we used tin baths in the living room and that was only coupel years ago. the old haggis is one of the best Urban legends of scotland i believe, even more so because in the old Munch Bunch books they actually did state that haggis are animals and when i was abotu 5-7 belived it myself due to it being in a book.
the simple stories made up on the fly always seem to work the best, thats where my original post of germs n mobile phones came from as well as the unicorns. there was a TV gameshow on UK tele called pokerface, idea was that u had several contestants and they asked a question and if u didnt know the answer u coudl still win the xxxx amoutn of cash by convincign the others that UR answer was indeed the correct one.
also earleir today i heard that "Farmers put cloth up sheeps bums to stop them from conceiving" now this was from a girl at school who not suprisingly failed biology last year and is resitting.

1 - I convinced a guy and a girl at work that bottles of mineral water have special lids, that change colour to show when it's cold enough to serve. (we were moving from stock with blue lids to stock with red lids, so this was just lucky timing)
2 - convinced the gf about cats having 9 lives.. my gf then asked if they know when they die, and how many lives they have left.
3 - convinced a guy at work i was transferring to another site (got everyone on shift to back me up). he got me a leaving present it was over a week before i had the heart to tell him it was BS.
I got a jar of dirt!

You are a bad bad man
I once convinced my gf that the computers in the maths building at uni have built in software that makes a loud screeching sound whenever it detects an equation being divided by zero. And big letters come up on the screen saying "YOU FAIL PLEASE TRY AGAIN".
Would be the best thing in the world if it was true though --------------------------------------------------------------------

Strictly it wasn't me who did this but it was well funny
My friend told his brother, since the war in iraq was going on, fuel prices were gonna rise up so much, that all the TV stations would be turned off after 9 PM
9 year olds are so guilable.
Once I actually convinced a guy on my road that it said guilable on his shoe. He spent 10 minutes looking for it. I don't think that he knows what guilable means

Well when my brother was 6 years old i palyed a great trick on him.
We had a big garden with some apple trees at the bottom. We also had a Yorkshire Terrier.
Now i was with my brother when he picked up one of the apples off the ground which was bright green and shriveled up [they had not even grown so were marble sized], He asked me what it was so feeling mischievious and boured i told him it was a "Dog egg", Suffice t say that he belived me and then perfectly the dog ran up the garden to greet us. So quickly i pointed to the dog and said "look out he's seen you got his eggs quick put it down he's angry". It wasant till later i told him it was really an apple. -----------------------------------------------

When I was an undergrad many years (almost a decade) ago, I went out to one of the campus bars one evening with an American girl that had moved into our student flat for a semester. She asked me why several of the girls in the bar were wearing tiara's. I told her matter of factly that they had to wear them to show their linage to the thrown (in that they were distance relatives of the royal family). She bought it hook line and sinker, que a few hours of drinking later when she made a total tit of herself asking some random bint about her connection to the royal family This reinforced my opinion on how gullible americans can be when in unfamiliar surroundings.

Who is more daft? Her for falling for this, or you for dating someone that stupid
To be fair, I met a girl the other day who randomly joined us in a pub quiz to make up team numbers (again an American). One of the questions was about leading causes of death in the US. Out of a list of possible leading causes of death one was 'cardiovascular disease'...no word of a lie she literally said 'well thats a made up word so its definately not that'...

Managed to convince a girl at work today abotu the origins of Knoxville being named after Jonny Knoxville, story is..
I have a T-shirt with Knoxville, Tennesee on it. The girl said she liked it and mentioned it was named like Jonny Knoxville. So i deceided to tell her that Knoxville Tennesee was originally named Fort Knox, and due to the popularity of Jackass the series and movie they deceided to change it to Knoxville in appreciation.

Two of my best are:
1. At uni i convinced my friend that my middle name was Xenon for about a year - basically our email addresses were the first initial of your christian name, middle name and surname. Those of us without middle names got an X for the middle initial, my friend didn't realise this and believed i did actually have a middle name beginning with an X. And Xenon, i told him, was because my parents were chemists (they aren't).
2. Goes back to when i was about 9, my mum used to collect me and my best friend from school. And look after my friend, until his parents got home (before the days your could give a kid his own key and be safe in the knowledge he would be at home in front of his playstation). I come from Scotland originally (now in England) and he and his family were going on holiday to Scotland, for months before his trip i told him he would need his passport, as they have border controls between England and Scotland, for so long did i go on about his, he started to believe it... and so did his mum. Who, bless her, phoned up the tourist board and the immigration people just to check!
