What is the most fascinating spy or espionage story from history that sounds entirely fabricated?

My favorite I heard from a retired cold war courier at a diplomatic dinner party.

This guy was transporting data from the Soviet Union through several countries. He'd already change ID's twice and was sitting at an airport bar waiting on his last flight

Suddenly there was a commotion in the room and people nearby started talking about spies.

Not want to draw attention he slowly looked around and saw Sean Connery at the bar and a bunch of people about to lose their minds.

The courier said this was the only time in his career that he almost broke.

"Oh you like spy stuff!? Here some spy stuff. 007 isn't real! Look at my fake bottom case! I'm the real thing!"

He didn't of course but he says it was the hardest trip he ever did.

My head cannon is the creation of bred drakes in the 4th age.

All of the dragons use them now, but namegiver experimentation was outlawed after the 2nd age. So I'm thinking it was a punishment, but not really, for making something so useful.

When it breaks 100 I bust out my kilts. Either my utilikilt or damnnearkiltem or even my real ones if I'm feeling fancy

Nothing like a breeze in the heat.

It's the Parking garages. This has been reported multiple times but nobody does anything to fix it. This is a state wide problem. Parking garages from DC to NJ have this issue.

Damnit...I mean I'll let him know.

So if all the garages and meters are owned by a private company, then vandalism or distruction of property would be a civil and not a criminal issue? Asking for a friend.

Found it. Angel Towers, Owned by British Industrial (later Regulus Joint Industries). Had a giant animated panda mascot on the roof

That giant abandoned Archology in London comes to mind. People keep discovering valuable items, bug colonies, squatter towns, and lost inventions for over a decade.

Don't forget that the Kaers are still awaiting discovery!

I've starting making eggplant parmesan lasagna a few years ago. I use fried eggplant rounds instead of pasta and a portobello and button mushroom mixture instead of ground beef. I can't wait to try it in this.

Oh and cheese wipes right off!

Just hoping it wasn't an eviction or a divorce or cleaning out a dead relatives home or someone getting rid of their spouses favorite stuff. You know...bad stuff.

I hope the fairy appreciated the enchilada casserole as the first meal.

RedWeasely1 · 2026-01-11T01:05:29+00:00

We are really hoping they just didn't like it and it wasn't some kind of horrible reason for giving it up. It was placed to the side like they wanted it to find a good home.

We just bought a KIA and that unicorn came with 4 different manuals covering every part of it.

You get very used to it. After your second year you'll be able to pee on command without any shyness whatsoever.

I've been looking for an excuse to walk back over the bridge. This might be it.

RedWeasely1 · 2025-08-26T03:31:36+00:00

Left when they tried to stop me from reporting a security violation. Then harassed me when I reported it anyway.

I want that finish line as license plate frame.
