Ever played a joke on runescape?

Ever heard of the Furnace Gnome or furnace teleport. That has to be the best joke I dreamed up and pulled off with the help of some friends. I noticed that if you ran at the smelting furnaces and logged out just as you got there, it looked like you jumped right in. Gave me an idea. We started spreading a rumor that there was a rare random event called the Furnace Gnome. If you got it you would be given a special ring with a gnome face on it that would allow you to teleport from any smelting furnace in Runescape to any other smelting furnace. We then staged it. One of my friends had made a character that was all dressed in red and had red big hair. For some odd reason this character looked shorter than a normal character. One of our other friends was right there smelting bars when the red guy logged in. "Greetings ****** I hope you like your gift." Bows and then he logs out. With a stroke of luck an imp appeared and gave us a really authentic looking puff of smoke in the right place at the right time. The friend who was smelting expresses his joy at having finally gotten the Furnace Gnome very loudly and then "jumps" into the furnace. There are still a few people who think the Furnace Gnome is real.

Gez dude, don't you know gnomes hate furnaces. It's a furnace dwarf. Btw, have you tried cutting down a tree with a raw herring. On most trees you'll get a message saying "this isn't the strongest tree in the forest". If you manage to find the strongest one you might be successful.

That is so funny. I never came across the furnace gnome. I guess I would be the lucky one.
