A teenager says he convinced the White House he was Iceland's president and managed to schedule a call with George W. Bush but was found out before he got to talk to the president.
"My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush's secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening," Vifill Atlason, 16, told Reuters.
The teenager posed as Icelandic President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson when he made the call on Dec 1.
Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later -- the day of the planned call -- and took him in for questioning.

I wish I'd thought of that!

Was that his call to one of the presidents or the call to NASA?

I think that's the one to NASA. The one to the President was "Mr. President, I figure if anyone knows where a guy can get some tang, it's you." or something to that effect.
