My thoughts on…April Fool’s Day
April 3rd 2007 -
April Fool’s Day - a delightful and whimsical day when the clever and convincing bask in the suffering of the slow and gullible. It is also the worst day to go on the Internet. Even so-called “reputable” news sources get in on the act. In fact, it’s pretty much useless on that day. So I stayed off it, save for doing some research. But that didn’t stop me from being pranked by, get this, my 9-year old sister. But I reversed her prank on her without even knowing it. Does that count as an April Fool’s prank? My parents didn’t join in the fun, too caught up in the daily grind. But I’m kinda sorry I didn’t check the Internet, as I missed out on all the hilarity.
I scoured the Internet all morning yesterday for pranks left over from Sunday, but to no avail. But here’s a prank that got me, though I should’ve had enough braincells to know better. It was about Apple ditching the iPhone to join up with Google and create and new phone. the “ID.” It would be chockful of features, but unable to make calls, but they thought users wouldn’t miss that feature. You should see it. The phone looks like the friggin’ Death Star. Here’s the link. But the point of this post is this: I want all you bloggers passing through just to share your April Fool’s Day moments, whether online or off. And hopefully my readers will have fun at the expense of many others.

I thought of doing a post for April fools that involved me talking about settling down and starting a family. Now that would have been funny.

Keith Richards pulled a good one on the media when he claimed that he had snorted his father’s ashes. Of course, because he is Keith Richards, the media fell for it and it was reported as news.
Thanks for stopping by Rev’ Jim’s, and I am happy to see you follow racing well enough to know how last Sunday’s race should have ended.
