This could be the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says “Spy Rock.” But if you’re a British spy, you might be like, “Oh shit, they know.” Always the imaginative types, British spies have been caught red-handed, using a fake rock to spy on the Russians. Allegations of this incident first came out in 2006, and it has taken six years for the English to finally own up to it. Understandably. But I think the Russians should actually be more ashamed of this, since they got tricked by a rock. However, it’s hard to tell the fake rocks apart from the real rocks, or even from your children, for that matter. Vodka is delicious.
Tony Blair’s former chief of staff, James Powell, admitted to the BBC that “The spy rock was embarrassing. They had us bang to rights.” Unclear what he means by that last part, although it probably involves sex and some variety of scones. You know, spy things.
