It makes a certain amount of sense that there would be a "World's Biggest Liar" contest since most people have known someone that would qualify at some point in their lives. The only rules for the competition is a time limit of 5 minutes and entry is barred to journalists,lawyers,salesmen and politicians on the grounds that they are "professional liars"! The competition dates from the 19th century and is held in honor of a famous fibber who once claimed that the local turnips were so big that people had to quarry into them for their Sunday lunch and what remained after the meal could be used as a shed for livestock. The competition is held annually at the Bridge Inn,Santon Bridge (UK).
