Help Me Come Up with an Interesting Lie About Myself

I'm supposed to come up with an interesting fact about myself for an upcoming orientation. I'm a pretty boring person so I'm going to make something up. I need something that's wacky and interesting yet believable. Any ideas?

Here are some that I've come up with so far:

Shot a man in self-defense.

Dated Julia Stiles in high school.

State-wide collegiate fencing champion, 1999.

Reads "Missing Pets" section of newspaper every day to predict earthquakes.

Published best-selling memoir about my struggle with heroin addiction.

Able to accurately complete any crossword puzzle without looking at the clues.

Puts pants on two legs at a time (this is true, actually).

Founder of Webvan.com.

Invented Sparx malt liquor.
