I've been doing so for years. It's part of web folk lore. Particularly the
Aluminium Foil Deflector Beanie (you are all wearing yours aren't you?),
and the non existence of Belgium (an incontrovertible case, I must have
imagined going there).

The non-existence of Belgium reminds me of something that happened to me
a couple of weeks ago. A semi-regular in one of the groups I do
mentioned something about his town, which was named, IIRC, Regina. The
town with that name of which I've heard is in Canada, but it sounds like
a name that probably exists in other places as well, so I asked if he
was in Canada. His response was "I don't believe in countries" and an
offer to post a map, instead of a simple answer.

I'd go with a similar philosophy if only countries would stop believing in
me.

I checked, today. Despite his sand-covered head, Canada is still there.

A Canadian friend sent me an image a couple years ago that was an
mational outline map of the US and Canada, having the caption: "We're
bigger and we're on top. If this were prison, you'd be our XXXXX".

That type of hallucinogenic nightmare is a symptom oft reported by folk
forgetting to wear their foil-hat.
