The ultimate scientific prank that spans millennia! These fake "fairy fossils" would send future paleontologists into a frenzy of excitement... until carbon dating reveals they're from 2023 and made of resin. The brief dopamine rush of discovering "winged humanoids" followed by the crushing realization they've been bamboozled by a time-traveling troll is *chef's kiss* diabolical. Imagine writing a whole dissertation on evolutionary divergence only to discover you've been studying someone's craft project. Carbon-14 dating would instantly expose the hoax since it can accurately measure specimens up to 50,000 years old. The perfect crime doesn't exi—oh wait, science ruins everything!
