Topic: What are some of your favourite stories or claims that syntax has made over the years?

Please feel free to go and make your own topic if you want to talk about MAtt. I feel like it's also important to mention that I am, in fact, not MAtt.
This thread is not for MAtts following of Merry Men to post about how butthurt they are either, it is for funny stories and nostalgia about the silly things syntax has posted about.
My favourite story has to be the island property he owned with Jacques Cousteau. He originally didn't say he owned an island! Merely that he was shown one a good one that was recommended by Cousteau. But when the story blew up in his face about owning an island, he defended his position by claiming that the Cousteau children are terrible investment partners, and if only he could get out of that situation and sell his part of the island it would be good riddance. I've included the only picture ever released of the island, that I know of.
I also liked the 10 year mission in Afghanistan leading a team of Army Rangers story, and the one about inventing the F14 Tomcat.
Honorable mentions go to being close personal friends with the Shah of Iran, the underground tunnel leading from his house to the FBI office, working in Area 51, and owning stocks in Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Toyota, IBM and Coca Cola.

He operates all the sateylites in the skye. All from the comfort of the island he owns with Jacques Cousteau, while sipping cheap wine in his hidden FBI office.

You pretty much covered all of the good ones.
He did once say that he trained American marines, or something like that.
Probably the creepier lies are when he pretends to he's closer to notable people on these chans than he really is. He used to act like he was close to r04r, and once implied that he had some sort of connection to the Minichan staff.

He still writes all the political and tech articles for the Huffington Post, but uses the nom de plume Lynne G. Mangostein who is a Cali surfer dude in his 40's

Retelling stories is not harassment. I'm not Matt. Let's keep this light-hearted. Thanks

Actually, I've just remembered a good one.
Syntax used to go around saying that Jewish rabbis use their teeth to remove the foreskins of male Jewish babies. When he was pressed for evidence of this, he cited an African creation myth and a Howard Stern fan site.
