I managed to convince at least two people that North Korea had declared war on Japan. For the most part, it fell flat. I even had a script going with one of my friends.
Me: Ah, man... you know what's a cool game? Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Lee: It sucks (he says this about everything I like, and vice-versa)
Me: Come on, you know like it. Don't you play, like, Zelda or something?
Lee: Oh yeah, Link has, like, a bomb or something in Smash Bros., right?
Me: Yeah... kinda sucks... Oh, BOMBS! OH MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR?
Lee: What now?
Me: North Korea declared war on Japan!
Lee: Huh? (at this poing, the script usually breaks down because nobody believes it)
Me: Yeah! They said that since the US's ships have been, like, conducting wargames near them or something, they told Japan to get rid of us or they'd start bombing.
Lee: No way. Really?
Me: Yeah. So, Japan refused, and Korea started rounding Japanese citizens in their cities to put 'em in camps or whatever, and started buzzing Japanese airspace or something, so we shot 'em down!
Lee: That's insane! (we never got past this point, but it would have gone like this)
Me: Yeah. Then there was like some invocation of alliances or something, and they declared war on Japan, and then we declared war on them! Well, for Korea and Japan it's war, for us, it's like, a police action or an executive order or something.
Lee: No way man. Are they, like, gonna bomb Japan?
Me: Probably. They said they were gonna about a year ago or something (this part's true. The exact threat was that they'd turn Japan into a "nuclear sea of fire")
Lee: That would suck for Japan. The only country to ever get nukes dropped on 'em. Three times.
Me: There were only two bombs in WWII.
Lee: Well, if they do it this time, there'd be at least three.
-He actually made that point before that. I felt stupid.
