Absolutely true
Had a nice night out once with a few friends. We went for dinner, and since it was still quite early to a tea-shop, where I met a few other friends of friends. I got talking to this rather good-looking person, and we were getting on very well (I now think this says something very unpleasant about my mind.) Swapped phone numbers and email addresses, and headed off home. Got a text saying hi, thought no more about it, until we started chatting on msn. This man was absolutely entirely convinced that he was one of a race of aliens who had been sent to earth and who were possessed of eight feet long tails and super powers. I played along for a bit as a laugh, and it started getting crazier- he was telling me that he could locate me with his mind powers since I was a dormant alien, and had equivalant powers that I did not know about. The goverment of course was determined to keep this quiet and hidden, and he promised to come fetch me, release my powers and make me happy forever.

What a way to woo a girl.

Length? Eight feet apparantly.

Edit: and on my dad's behalf I feel obliged to mention the time that he was given a Freemason's handshake by no less than three of the people he met at a function. He came home absolutely paranoid that he was wearing something that identified him somehow as one of those, or that he was going to lose his job for not being part of the nasty little club that his employers belonged to. Not as bad as my grandmother who I never knew, apparantly bless her she believed Freemasons were in league with the devil. Now that is some conspiracy theory
