Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

A quick google suggests that this isn't entirely impossible...Ganymede and Callisto get far enough away from Jupiter to be distinguishable. It's mainly the glare of Jupiter that would make it difficult (so sharp-sighted people would be able to see them if they block out Jupiter behind a post or whatever).
So it's just credible that a few, rare people would have exactly the right combination of sharp focus and glare resistance to see them.
Simple to call them on it, though, as they're easy to see with binoculars...
