File Destructor is a web tool that lets you create junk files look like real files, except they don't do anything. Need a 312MB MPG file or a 12KB Word document? File Destructor can help. Or rather, it can't, but it can make it look like you've got such a file. A word of caution though: While you can create and download a phony Word or text document in no time flat, it takes a while to download large files from File Destructor. So we wouldn't recommend faking your film class's final video project.
It probably goes without saying, but Download Squad assumes absolutely no responsibility if you should be dumb enough to actually try anything we recommended in the previous two paragraphs.

I did this several years ago in a college course. I took a jpg image, changed the file extension to .doc, and e-mailed it in. A couple of days later, I got an email from the teacher asking me to resend my paper because it was corrupted. It worked like a charm.

I have done this a few times over the years. you certainly do not need a website to do it for you. Copy some random file of about the right size, compress it with a "zip" program then change the files extension from .zip to .doc, .xls, whatever. Works like a charm.

haha, I did this in highschool a few times.
Take a word doc, open it with notepad, delete a bunch if random chunks of code and send ut in. The file "half opens" and gives an error. Worked like a charm every time :D.
Muahahaha, dumbass teachers :D

there is a command in XP called fsutil which you can use to create a new file at a specific size. for example:
fsutil file createnew C:\Paper.doc 1000000
