More British Humour: Dave's Big Web of Lies

Near a decade ago during the Miami epoch. So called due to the fragments of chunky shoes and beer bottles found at a certain strata of the geological record there existed a website founded on lies which Dave (no relation) a student at said Miami University who didst post such lies on his door. One of them an elaborate yarn spun by an individual, Jeff Morrow by name, whose tires inexplicably burst whilst braving the wilds of Hamilton Ohio all in order to miss a university lecture. This website is remarkably still in existence. An amazement given the distance of the Miami epoch and the demise of Attractions and First Run.
