What is the worst lie you've ever heard?

ProMonkians

ANSWER ME!!

At university when I first met one of my new flatmates he told me this corker of a lie:
He claims that for some reason that I forget that he was threatened by 12 blokes with baseball bats on Stirling Bridge. He then threw one of the guys off the bridge and the rest of them backed off/ran away. Now Stirling Bridge isn't that high but the river is shallow, and I'm willing to bet that being thrown off the bridge counts as a fatality - heck some guy died swimming in the river recently.

Anyway to reiterate: What is the worst lie you've ever heard? ANSWER ME!!
(ps: no crap about George Bush/Tony Blair and WMDs etc. these have to be lies told personally to yuo!).

My ex told me he had cancer in the foot, and kept limping to demonstrate his pain. He went on that he'd have to either have it amputated or have intense chemotherapy. Naturally, I was devastated and very worried, but in the end we broke up anyway (his choice). At that point, he told me he was going into hospital for his treatment, so a few weeks later I rang his family to see how he was. They didn't know what I was on about - it had all been a lie!!!

To add insult to a very nasty injury, I later found out he'd been cheating on me as well. :mad:

The worst lie I ever heard was something about Germany's peaceful intentions, but I can't remember it exactly.

"I've been stabbed 48 times, shot, beaten up...I'm lucky to be alive!"

Or, as I was thinking at the time, "No, you wouldn't be alive at all, asshole."

From the same person:

"I hit my head and lost my memory, man. It's really spotty for the last couple of years."

How convenient. Also, it's pretty stupid to cover for the rest of your bullshit with more bullshit.

Same person again: "I'm part of a thieves guild here in town. I was trained by my master...(Cue long bullshit story that I didn't bother to listen to)."

Yeah, a thieves guild. In a town of 20, 000 that didn't exist before 1939. I'm sure we have all sorts of organizations that sound like they came from medieval Europe around here. We've got the HQ of the Illuminati, too, didn't you know? Before I thought you were just full of shit. Now I think you need help.

I know a guy who likes to get drunk and tell stories about all the adventures he's had. In one night he told me that he was in prison for killing a man in the early seventies, and later in the night he told me he was in Vietnam during the early seventies. He also claimed the Army did experiments on him. Weird guy.

How can that be the worst lie you've ever heard, you fell for it didn't you?
Yeah, I fell for it in the beginning, but I found out in the end, didn't I? My personal opinion is that it was pretty stupid to think I never would. The only plausible lies are ones where the chances of it being found out are incredibly slim, and this was not such a case. Only took a phone call, after all.

Also, it was 'worst' in the sense of its cruelty and clear inadequacy, as opposed to its unbelievability. I'm sure you wouldn't find it terribly funny if it happened to you (I didn't at the time, because I actually cared about the person in question, though I find his inadequacy semi-funny now), but if it does, I at least will be laughing :p

Ah! Cancer of the foot! That's a classic. I've actually used that one myself. Not to break up with anybody or anything.Well, it wasn't used as an excuse to break up with me, he told me that before we even started dating. Anyhow, he was the sorry one in the end :D *evil laugh*

The worst lie I ever heard was in a school drug education program, where they said of you did LSD once you'd be hooked on it, it would cause schizophrenia without fail in anybody if you used it enough, and that it could turn your brain into gel.

Guess who was sponsoring the program?
That's right! Our friendly government had the police come in to teach us!

When i tried to correct the good officer's mistake, he said "What? Do YOU do LSD???" and started getting all angry.

Here's one that isn't such a bad lie, but an incredibly silly one. When I was a kid, I had a friend who was into lying. He had set the alarm on his watch when to go home. Now, he was climbing a tree, and this watch began beeping. He climbed down and explained that he's got such a clock that can detect life-threatening molds (!) on the tree, and that he has to leave now because of this threat.

This is actually a wonderful idea, have to develop such a watch some day.

My first couple a years working in Japan I shared an aparto with a coupla guys. One of them had a girlfriend that he wanted to keep secret, I have no idea why she turned out to be a nice gal when we met her.
She had spent the night and was going to take a shower in the morning. I was eating breakfast and from the kitchen you couldn't see the shower. So He came into the kitchen, I got up and grabbed my towel and shorts to take a shower and he suddenly leaped for the kitchen door and said something like, are you going to take a shower!? I said yeah, he said wait a minute, I have to turn off the washing machine!! He then ran to the shower/washing machine room. Knowing the gal was in there I stayed in the kitchen. When he came back and announced it was safe to enter the shower room because the washing machine was taken care of I could hardly keep from laughing.
When I went in, the machine was on and empty. happily cleaning nothing. She had fled back to his room. her shoes were at the door, about half his foot size but he quickly announced he had bought them yesterday!

I never really questioned him on the logistics of building a rail gun, I was more interested in the why-why he was building a rail gun.
