I remember a "fractal compression" hoax one time. It would compress a file ridiculously (like 1 1mb file down to 100 bytes), and decompress it flawlessly. Of course it just moved the file to some other place on the harddrive and created a "compressed file" full of junk and restored the file on decompress. Good one...
