One of your most illustrious compatriots, the late Arthur C. Clarke, compiled a list of stories published under the title, "Tales from the White Hart." The White Hart being a fictional tavern where engineering and scientific types would hang out after hours. The Tales are whoppers they told each other in a "well-lubricated" competition to see who could spin the biggest but yet seemingly plausible lie. It is a good read. Another good read might be a collection of the most bizarre (scientifically speaking) items offered for sale on the Internet. Ken Javor
