he is a person who likes to play hoaxes on people
"Rory Emerald, aka Julian Lee Hobbs, the Los Angeles man who placed an ad in The Roanoke Times claiming to have found the diary of a "very famous American" in an old clock, is no stranger to newspaper classifieds.
In the past few months he has placed about 12 ads in papers large and small across the country. All "friendly hoaxes" that have swamped him with phone calls, he said.
In Milwaukee he found an Olympic gold medal; in San Diego a baby panda; in Atlanta a World Series ring; in San Francisco a two-headed cat; in Santa Barbara, Calif., a prosthetic nose.
In Massachusetts, he placed an ad in The Patriot Ledger claiming to have found a Hasty Pudding award - a Pudding Pot bestowed annually to performers by Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Club. The paper picked up the story on its news pages, he said, and had to run a follow-up article the next day admitting it had been duped.
A reporter at The Patriot Ledger ruefully confirmed Emerald's account.
"From what I understand I guess I'm the first person in U.S. history that's placing these found ads," Emerald said.
In some cases, people refuse to believe him.
"Even though they know in their heart of hearts it's a hoax, they don't want to believe it's a hoax."
Emerald has been pulling off these tricks for years. In 1990, he fooled The Associated Press into thinking that he was Elizabeth Taylor's boyfriend, at the ripe old age of 23.
"I'm a professional hoaxer," he said. "It's actually very, very hard. A person that's doing it for the very first time would have a very tough time."
So what's his next hoax? Emerald won't divulge any details. "It's going to be so good," is all he'll reveal. Watch out"
