Here's a fun one for today - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berners_Street_hoax
Quote:
The Berners Street hoax was perpetrated by Theodore Hook in Westminster, England, in 1810.[1][2] Hook had made a bet with his friend, Samuel Beazley, that he could transform any house in London into the most talked-about address in a week, which he achieved by sending out thousands of letters in the name of Mrs Tottenham, who lived at 54 Berners Street, requesting deliveries, visitors, and assistance.
