April fools Day

What a day it can be....

You can check out the top 100 April fool pranks as judged by notoriety, absurdity, and the number of people duped. They have listed the following stories and more....

Where you can read about a tree that grows spaghetti...

When Burger King announced they were going to serve the left handed Whopper burger....

In Alaska where a local practical joker named Porky Bickar had flown hundreds of old tires into the volcano's crater and then lit them on fire, all in a (successful) attempt to fool the city dwellers into believing that the volcano was stirring to life...

The Case of the Interfering Brassieres...

In 1934 many American newspapers, including The New York Times, printed a photograph of a man flying through the air by means of a device powered only by the breath from his lungs...

Too many to list them all, check it out and enjoy your reading!


I know a few years ago I was driving out in Texas and the local radio had a announcement that John Deere had decided to change the color of their tractors. The company spokesman said they decided to color them with BRIGHT colors like pink, blue, purple, red. They said it would make it easier to see them on satellites from space, since the green blends in with the earth colors.
The phone lines at the radio station lit up with outraged farmers calling to say they wouldn't be caught dead in a pink tractor... I thought that one was funny!!


On a serious note,
there is a
virus going around that sends you an e-card stating "April Fools"
and then it unleashes a Trojan horse virus into your computer. Be wary of any e-cards you get.


Have fun today... Be safe... and take everything with a grain of salt today!
Later Darlin'
