October 20th, 2010's challenge: Mind Tricks

Vader might have lost his way, but at one point in time he was a Jedi, and to this day he's a master of Jedi mind tricks. For tomorrow, Lord Vader says that every one must convince someone else of an outrageous lie. What the lie will be is up to you, but it can't be something stupid like "Obama is a Muslim." It has to be pretty outlandish, since the more outlandish it is, the more likely it is that you're in tune with the Force. Points are based on the weirdness of the lie.

Slightly weird lie: 1 point
Pretty weird lie: 2 points
Slanderously weird lie: 3 points

Each additional person you an convince of the same lie is worth an extra point. If you convince two people of a slightly weird lie, that's two points; two people convinced of a slanderously weird lie is worth 4 points.

Heaven help us all.

  1. How factual is our newsprint these days? It turns out that the paper I was reading this morning printed a story of the first successful uterus transplant into a man. Also, he became the carrier of the first ever human clone. This project was funded by William Shatner, whose DNA sequence was used for the cloning process. I guess they will be able to remake an accurate Star Trek. Both the girl sitting next to me in Humanities, and the girl now sitting next to me in Biology believe me implicitly. They are also both shocked. Hopefully they'll tell their friends about it today.

  2. Did you know that, due to the warming properties inherent in human hair, scientists are currently pursuing the technology necessary to make articles of clothing made out of human hair a reality? Two of my friends in my Spanish class now believe that the world is close to having blankets, sweaters, and shirts made from the surplus hair from Locks of Love.

  4. So this was a pretty good one. Pretty good two, actually. Last night I convinced David that matchstick heads were made out of the same stuff asprin is, and that you can eat them in a pinch if you're out of asprin.
    Today I convinced two people in my art class that it is possible to make a functional origami boat that people can sail in, and that is how the Japanese won the Russo-Japanese war in the early 20th century.
