My wife: told her the music from the game Tetris was, in fact, the Russian national anthem. She has a PhD.
My son: snooker is named after the game's inventor, Bob Snooker.
My daughter: Bob Ross is Greta Thunberg's dad.
My nieces: honey is collected by milking bees with little tweezers.
The whole of Year 9: the EU is forcing us to adopt decimal time, so anyone born in July or August will have to repeat the year as they weren't going to be part of the new 10 month calendar (this was a few years ago).

Any more?

I convinced my undergraduate son that the Macron Stadium was named after the President of France. For at least a minute.

Was on holiday fair few years ago. And as you goof chatting to some couples who we pretty
Much spent the whole holiday with . After a few days. And fair few cocktails we decided to invent a fish which had taken up residence under one the water bungalows named the donkey fish . Everyone we chatted to we had to tell them and watch how many people went snorkelling under this particular water bungalow for the remainder of the holiday we also added some more details full it even made a noise you could hear underwater if you got close to it but to be careful as it would attack u if wearing a certain colour . Let’s just say there are a lot of really stupid people around esp after a few drinks . We watched as they dove in looking intently and even back it up when they said they couldn’t find it as strange as it was there earlier and we fed it some salad from the lunch menu

Neil Roberts RIP was a Glasgow Rangers fan and he used to take every opportunity to wind me up about it. It didn't seem to bother him that I was an atheiest that hated both Glasgow clubs, I was a Taig as far as his ribbing went.

Up at Goodison about thirty years ago, I convinced him and a load of his Glasgow Rangers mates that our Rangers were originally a Catholic immigrant club, hence the green and white hoops, who used to be called St. Jude's RC.

Poor Neil. He was devestated. The Glasgow Rangers fans, who'd come down to see their "sister club" left at half-time.

I enjoyed that, so I started telling other people. My mates, then a few more. Then a few more. I may have told you. If so, I apologise now.

Eventually, Gordon Macey tracked me down, and had a very polite chat with me.
The game was up. I'd had a good run of it.

when cd players were relatively new, a female friend was inviting a new fella round, and she brought one to impress him. She came round to borrow a film, and I told her to tell the bloke that he'd have to rewind it as we were half way through. She did. I got a nasty phone call the next day.

Convinced a guy in the pub that all the heavy rain we were getting was because so many people were storing data in the clouds there was nowhere left for the water.
A couple of weeks later, during a rainstorm, another guy in the pub told me the same story and said the guy who told him had got it from an educated man......now I've been called some things but........

One time I asked this Essex girl if there was a B&Q in Basildon.
She thought for a minute and replied "I think there's a B".

Always loved the story on Lads Bible about the bloke who told his girlfriend that he only snored when his nuts covered his bumhole as if they blocked the hole it caused a vacuum. Apparently she went to sleep holding his balls for years.

How about that bloke who claimed to have traveled from Scotland to Isle of Man by Jet Ski during lockdown? Did that actually happen? My people over there reckon it was faked!
