Greatest lie you've ever fooled someone with

There was a guy I knew who was really really hitting onto me. So instead of telling him I wasn't interested, I made up a boyfriend to put him off.
Duncan (who lived in Scotland) was a student too, his local job was cutting down trees for logs for his local pub (I mean, who'd believe that?) and because he lived so remotely he didn't have Internet access, so wasn't on Myspace (which was all the rage in those times). We'd also been going out for three years before-hand, I just, y'know, hadn't mentioned it til now. He was really nice, came to visit me over Valentines, sent me flowers, etc etc.
Meanwhile, I actually did get a boyfriend (a real-life one) so I told my 'stalker' (as he became known to my friends) I was cheating on Duncan.. This went on for some time and eventually I "dumped Duncan" for my current boyfriend, who was finding all this hilarious. Of course, my friends got up-to-the-minute updates over MSN (which was also the rage at the time), some of the conversations we had were hilarious.
I have reason to believe my stalker still doesn't know this was a lie, I haven't spoken to him in a long time ever since I told him to leave me alone (which I should have done in the first place, but then again - this was much more fun!)
Edit:
Yes it was a bad thing to do. This was over three years ago now and I'd like to think that I've grown up since then. I guess the lesson I've learnt is that it's easier to tell the truth in the long run, I probably did hurt his feelings and I do sometimes feel bad about it.
I missed out a lot of details however, such as texting me all the time, following me around and writing love songs about me. It got to the point where being polite just wasn't working and I guess I just tried to get out of the situation the easiest way I could.
Yes I know you'll just come back to me anyway saying I shouldn't of done it - I did though and I can't really turn back time now.

Heres the short explanation...Karma168 said:
Basically, during sex, small parts of the males brain are transfered to the female where they go combine with the females brain-portions into a child over time! This explains why partners get stupider directly after sex, because their brains haven't regenerated yet...
AND SHE BELIEVED ME!!!
I told four people that I was one quarter American. My family hasn't actually left the West Midlands of England for generations.
Three of them worked out it was a joke by the end of the day, since my only reasoning behind it was I pronounce some words with a slight American accent. Got that from too many cartoons as a kid, I think...
The fourth still hasn't worked it out and it's been over a year. I almost don't have the heart to tell him anymore.

when I was 11, I convinced an incredibly childish friend of mine that I was a time lord. Took him over a year to figure it out.
Convinced someone else I could control the wind, and a third person Dumbledore turns out to be Harry from the future.

Hmm, I can't think of anything. I do tend to lie a lot for comedic effect though...
Like, something amusing may have happened, but maybe it would have been even funnier if they then said this or that guy wandered up or we were on a train or there was cow in the next field over...

I didn't do this but my buddy once freaked out his very religions mother, while she went out for like 5 minutes he turned all the cross in the house upside down, when she got home she started scrubbing down the house with holy water, after an hour of silent laughter he told her it was him
I convinced a girl in my history class that the queen was dead. She beleived me until someone else set her straight...
And then the next day, I did the same thing again. And she beleived me. Again.

I lie whenever I'm at a museum. I have a gift with bullshit, I have to admit. But I don't like to use that gift with malicious intent. Thus, the museum gives me an opportunity. In a section with prehistoric animals, I say to my friend, "You know the snakefly was the Tyrannosaurus Rex's greatest predator". "Right...", says she. "I know, it sounds crazy, right? But what it would do was allow itself to be eaten by the T-Rex. It's exoskeleton was highly resistant to the acids of the stomach, so it would survive to that point and then begin to burrow out of the creature's belly. This caused severe damage to the T-Rex, who would eventually bleed out and later be eaten by the swarms of other snakeflies". She says, "Oh, my God! That's crazy, I'd never even heard of that."
Some of them were less ambitious. For instance, walking around D.c.:
-"Hey, take a picture of me here".
*"Why? There's nothing here"
-"Look down. This is the chester A Arthur memorial manhole cover"

Just this week, my sister's boyfriend brought lobsters from the cape, he told her that if you unfreeze them (they were frozen) they come back to life.
Teehee, he explained that it is a little joke they tell all the people that visit there once I said that the lobsters looked "pretty dead" to me.
She even called his mom to make sure he was lying.
Man, she was ENRAGED.

I've gotten away with a lot in my life lying for comedic affect. Once convinced someone I was from another dimension, can't even remember the name I gave it.
Last good one that I remember, though, was one day at work I left my bottle of water in the freezer to get it cold faster but I forgot it and it froze over.
I proceeded to convince a client that the AC was so cold it in fact froze my bottle of water into a solid block of ice.

I haven't really fooled anyone with a great lie but since we're on the subject of lying, I remember playing a game once where everybody was to tell three things about themselves, two truths and one lie, and everyone else was to try and figure out which was the lie.
I told them I was born on the same day as the Challenger Shuttle Disaster, I got banned from taking a rubber chicken to school, and that my brother once got arrested for drunk driving.
Amusingly, despite it sounding the most realistic, the one about my brother was a lie, because the only sibling I have is a sister, and she certainly hasn't been arrested for anything whatsoever.
