This is one of the funniest threads I've read in a good long while! Thanks, everyone- I needed the laugh!

I had a girl convinced once that there are North American varieties of butterflies that sting... and I once convinced a man that General Custer had hired a contingent of Highlanders as body guards, who used cabers and stones to kill Crow braves. I have to go get my wife from work, though, so I'll elaborate later if you all would like.
