They called ahead of time and showed up promptly at the agreed-upon time. Something you'd think NASA would be aware of when some random doofus calls them and claims to be one, but maybe commercial airline pilot Jerry Alan Whittredge was just very convincing.

To be fair, he was wearing an appropriate costume. Come on, NASA has rocket science and crap to work on! You can't expect these highly educated people, some of the most intelligent on Earth, to check resumes before handing over classified information about the shuttle's propulsion system to some schmuck they don't know.

And while they're at it, you can't expect them to NOT let an unqualified stranger sit at Mission Control during a shuttle mission. He also convinced the Navy to give him training on a T flight simulator. It should be noted here that a T flight "simulator" is an actual flying jet. Jerry just seems to have that special mix of crazy and ballsy that lets him fool both NASA and the Navy for the thankfully brief span of So, to recap, both NASA and the Navy--staffed by folks highly trained in keeping secrets and checking backgrounds--were fooled into giving tours of top-secret facilities and discussing very sensitive information with a guy who, when busted, insisted Bill Clinton was his lawyer.

Wendy Brown, like most people, had some regrets about high school. But where most of us wish we'd not worn multi-colored, one-strapped overalls backwards, her big regret was that she didn't become a cheerleader. But as a year-old mom with a history of identity theft charges, surely that dream of shaking her pompoms at high school boys was way beyond her reach.

She would blend in seamlessly. Wendy had a few tricks up her sleeve. First, she had a year-old daughter who, thankfully, didn't live at home. Second, Wendy lived through the great Body Switching Movies Era of the 80s, a time when any stressed out adult with a regret or two could magically trade places with his or her son or daughter. Having no access to the demon wizardry that made those switches possible, she settled for the next best thing: So she could become a cheerleader.

Her yearbook photo was not flattering. Unless you consider felony identity theft charges and the ridicule of a nation "awesome," in which case, yeah According to high school officials, despite looking like a world-weary truck driver with smoker's growl, her demeanor was that of a high school girl. This woman earned a spot on the cheer squad. Presumably, there wasn't a lot of competition. And what's even creepier was the fact that Brown inhabited her daughter so completely that she talked about being sad about moving out of Nevada and missing her friends.

Even creepier still, she didn't actually get caught until her check for her cheerleading uniform bounced. Had it not, she'd probably still be there, in her mids, ragging about how her parents get her down while secretly experiencing her first symptoms of pre-menopause. In August , the stage manager of a Hong Kong classical venue got a call from someone asking if he would he be interested in booking the entire Moscow Philharmonic for a couple of shows.

As the Moscow Philharmonic is among the most respected orchestras in the world, the manager pretty much took this as a gift from the gods of Hong Kong Buddhas? So this large orchestra came, rehearsed and performed in front of about 10, Hong Kongians. And then they left, no doubt with unknowingly-impregnated groupies in their wake.

All's well that ends well, yeah? Because they weren't actually the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra.

The yellow sections are verified as "Not Europe. So apparently a very large, very talented group of Russian con men put together an insanely spot-on impersonation that fooled thousands of people. You'll need a furry hat. Mustaches are encouraged but not mandatory. To this day, no one knows who these people were, where they came from or where they went.

    AP Almost old enough to play a teenager on TV.

    She would roll into town, tell a local church that she was a runaway with a history of abuse, and let the nice people help enroll her in school. Then, once she graduated, she'd bolt, find a different city, and become a year-old all over again. She'd essentially invented a fountain of youth, if only technically.

    Throneberry pulled the con from Texas to Idaho, Oregon, and finally Canada. There she made some friends, joined the tennis team, and, creepiest of all, got a boyfriend half her age. AP Her prom dress was older than her prom date. As for why she did it, well, all signs point to severe mental issues and a fear of growing up.

    Thankfully, the government fixed the latter by arresting Throneberry after she tried to apply for a Social Security card and someone ran her fingerprints. As a side note, this story did teach us one important lesson: Even after 15 years of trying, Throneberry never was able to get an A in it. Thierry Tilly is a French conman who's been dubbed the "Leonardo da Vinci of mental manipulation," which must make for a hell of a business card.

    Tilly has claimed to be a descendant of the Hapsburgs, a secret agent working for a Dan Brown-esque secret group called " The Balance of the World " itself an offshoot of the Knights Templar , and the enemy of another secret society of Freemasons and pedophiles. All at the same time.

    Diego Delso Though one hopes we're all enemies of Freemasons and pedophiles. After making contact with the matriarch of the aristocratic de Vedrines family, Tilly convinced three generations that they were the descendants of "Balance of the World" members, and that their lives were in mortal danger. Not only did they buy it, but they also let Tilly fill them with more paranoia than the guy with the bloodshot eyes buying nachos from at 2 a.

    The Telegraph We're starting to question our belief that all millionaires are geniuses. Eventually, Tilly convinced the family that they needed to abandon their entire lifestyle and escape to Oxford, where they lived in a modest house and supported themselves by doing menial jobs. That's how skilled Tilly was: He convinced rich people to do manual labor. Finally, though, somebody broke from Tilly's spell and contacted the authorities, who then arrested him for fraud.

    Or so the masonic child molesters would have us believe. Tara Marie writes, a lot. You can check out her fundraiser , and others, on Twitter using the hashtag TransCrowdFund. You know all those facts you've learned about psychology from movies and that one guy at the party who says, "Actually Chances are none of them are true.

    Take the Stanford Prison Experiment, the one famous psychology study people can name. It was complete bullshit. Funny story actually, it turns out that when you post flyers that say, "Hey, do you wanna be a prison guard for the weekend? Free food and nightsticks," you might not get the most stable group of young men.
