Kind of a prank now, but it started as an experiment...... and sorry for length.
For this anecdote, I will be using fake names for those involved, as the experiment/prank is still ongoing, and using real names could jepodise it's success.

Ok, so a while back now me and two of my chums were in a three way instant message convo, for anonymousisity's sake we'll call them Dave, and Paul. The convocation starts grow boring when we get a pop-up that another one of our friends friend has come online. Now friend number 3, (we'll call him Jim), is one of those intellectual types with absolutely NO common sense, so we decide to test his gulability, and thus the Experiment "how quickly can we convince Jim that one of his friends is gay" is hatched, we decide on one of our close friends who we'll call "Fred" to be the reactor in this test.

We all had various hypotheses to the out come of this experiment. I guessed that it would probably take a good few hours and would probably need to bring Fred in on it, Dave hypothesized that it would probably take around half an hour, and Paul thought that we would never do it. So, after a few minuets of discussion upon how we would conduct the experiment, we decided that me and Paul would play the part of telling Jim that Fred had came out to us, and Dave would be pretending that he knew nothing about Fred's coming out, and the news be new to him.

So we create a new chat room and pull Jim into it, the conversation started off something along the lines of this..... (I believe Dave still has the transcript)(, remember Dave is pretending to not know about Fred's coming out)

Me: Hey
Dave: Yo
Paul: Hey
Jim: Hi
Paul: Man, I can't believe about Fred
Me: I know, it's completely out of the blue
Dave: What about Fred
Me: Oh wait don't you know?
Paul:I don't know if I know unless you tell me what it is
Dave: Do you know Jim?
Jim:No
Paul: Madlyinsane, your defiantly talking about the same thing as me right?,
Me: Yeah im pretty sure.
Jim: What is it?
Me: I don't really know if we should tell you, it's not really our place.
Paul: Madlyisane, we may as well tell them, cos their going to be suspicious now, plus we don't really want them asking around trying to find out.
Me: Ok then, I'll let you tell them
Dave: What? what?
Paul: Ok basically today, Fred came out...
Jim: WHAT?????
Dave: ah I always expected it
Dave: I mean it does make sense.
Jim: No way this is bollocks, you guys are just messing with us.
Me: Why would we be messing with you with something like that, it's not really something to joke about, lying about it would just be ass hole-ish. **I still feel guilty about saying/typing that now**
Jim: I suppose.

Anyway, I'm sure you all get the idea, a small story from Paul about Jim confessing to him earlier in the day, and a quickly made up transcript from me of Fred coming out to me over MSN was all it took to catch Jim hook, line, and sinker.

Results
Total time to convince Jim that Fred is gay: 12 minuets
Level of Jim's Gullability: 9/10

Epilogue
So after convincing Jim that Fred was gay with such ease we decide, to not stop at the end of the experiment and to carry on with it. The following day at college, (bear in mind that Fred has no idea about this) Me and Jim were talking and all of a sudden I find a gay porn mag thrust in front of my eyes, and with my delight, and Jim's shock, who would be holding this mag-o-cock? Why none other than Fred :D. In the days following Specs of genius coincidence like this just kept on coming, Such as Fred resting his hand on Jim's knee whilst in a lesson, Paul's new nick name that he had given Fred "Big Bender" which seemed to love, and responded to, and Jim looking up just as Fred was stood in front of him in a ridiculously camp pose.

Anyway, as times moved on, we started to forget about the experiment, and assumed that Jim had figured out that it was a joke, until about two weeks ago, Me, Dave and Jim are walking to a lesson together, and Jim pipes up with... "You know when I found out that Fred was gay, I promised myself that I wouldn't let things change, and that he'd still just me the same old Fred, but things would be a bit weird to start off with, but he hugged me the other day, and the hug didn't feel like a normal friendly hug, he seemed to embrace it a bit more" Of course this was a ridiculously hard moment for Me and Dave to not burst out laughing but we somehow managed hold it in. This event sparked a new experiment "How quickly can we convince Jim that Fred has the hots for him" Results: around 20 seconds.

Again I appologise for the length.

I don't get it
why do you go to collage and not college?

And other than that - if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck then one can with reasonable certainity assume that it is a duck.
