This is a question Messing with people's heads

Theophilous Thunderwulf says: What have you done to fuck with people? Was it a long, carefully planned piece of psychological warfare, or do you favour quick, off-the-cuff comments that confuse the terminally gullible? Have you been dicked with, and only realised many years later? Are you being dicked right now? Tell us everything.

Lies
I make up lies and tell them to my mate. They're not bad lies in the sense that anyone get's hurt, they are just made up facts.

For example, I've told him that Juke boxes where originally called shook boxes and originated from Jamaica. To back this up I needed a bit of back story, so I told him that the way they work is that at the beginning of a party everyone would put their records in a box, the box would then by shaken (shook) lightly and the one that rises to the top would be the next record played, an American saw this and decided to mechanise and charge for the pleasure.

I've also told him that the reason it's considered rude to put your elbows on the table stems from the process of matchmaking in Victorian England. The story was that if a woman were to meet a potential suitor it is considered rude to not show him the goods (tits), so they would need to keep their arms back and chest out.

As far as I know neither of these facts are true but my hope is that one day he has children and passes on this crap knowledge to them.

These are actually plauseable
so I may steal them for my own purposes

Truth be told
Not putting your elbows on the table in order to show a potential suitor your breasts is also where the old Victorian expression, "get your tits out for the lads" comes from. A very handle saying for when there was no table present.
