We did things like that in college, writing manuals and computer science
papers that were... not quite factual.

Sometimes we didn't make them absurd enough and people fell for it.

A professor would come around after awhile: "Um... we need to talk."

It continued into work.  I used to write manuals for new workers on how to
deal with the company.  They were like medieval satire... just dodgy enough
that I didn't get fired, but still served as a useful warning to newbies.

Of course, there were the venomous ones that we kept private.
