Hey guys!

Anyone set up any good pranks this year? I changed my facebook status to say that my husband and I were sending our (21 month old) son to boarding school in England for two years. A couple of people fell for it.  :P

Anyone else up to some mischief?

I usually forget to do anything in particular on April fools, but that sounds hilarious, DJ!! :D

Shoot. I should have said we were sending him to an Atheist boarding school in England. I think that would have been better.

Google and YouTube have a couple good ones.

Google 8-bit

YouTube collection

Good stuff.

Yeah, Google's was pretty funny this year.

Hahaha, I like "the youtube collection" feedback method.

I got a couple of lookers for "Hey what's that turtle doing in our back yard"  "I didn't know turtles could climb trees"

I engendered hope and delivered disappointment, mocked anticipation of joy.
What a fine tradition.

I went ahead and got the Betamax versions for only $450,000. I will keep everyone posted with the quality of the Betamax videos as well as their shipping speeds.

10 stories that could be April Fools pranks but aren't

Quote3. A 20-year-old "superhero" who calls himself the Knight Warrior, but was born Roger Hayhurst, is hoping to be the first elected mayor of Salford. He promises to tackle crime.

Hahahaha! oh my days that made my eyes water. In Salford of all places.

I felt like I fell victim to an (extremely mean) prank.  The airline changed our direct flight out of Atlanta to a later flight with a connection through Charlotte, and then even though the city we were in was actually closer to Charlotte, they wouldn't let us just board in Charlotte.  We had to drive 3 hours to Atlanta (would have been an hour and a half to Charlotte) to fly out of Atlanta bank to Charlotte, 3 hours later than we planned.   >:(  Am sending a strongly worded note.
