What day is today? April's Fool Day!!

Well this is my favorite day, The April’s Fool Day, and one of my 4teens is constantly a victim of this day. This 4teen is Pretty Street smart and hopefully one of these days he can relate the date and the unbelievable story and draw the right conclusion!!

April 1st 2007 prank of 4t+:

I got up in the morning pretending to be very sick and nauseated. 4teen was a bit concerned and wanted to know if I had the stomach flu. I said: “no sweetie, I am just pregnant.” 4teen looked at me in horror and asked: “You what?” and I repeated that I was pregnant and he went bananas as in nuts as in crackers and as in out of control! The look on the face was priceless, except that in the middle of all this reality theatrical show, I started laughing and my prank was exposed. This was a good one, maybe one of my best, but that is another story.

In honor of this great day, I have found a few of my favorite pranks for Aprils fool day from the Yahoo News. You have to admit that the stories are pretty hilarious! Enjoy.



NEW YORK (AFP) -
 In 1957, a BBC television show announced that thanks to a mild winter and the virtual elimination of the spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. Footage of Swiss farmers pulling strands of spaghetti from trees prompted a barrage of calls from people wanting to know how to grow their own spaghetti at home.

 In 1998, a newsletter titled New Mexicans for Science and Reason carried an article that the state of Alabama had voted to change the value of pi from 3.14159 to the "Biblical value" of 3.0.

 Burger King, another American fast-food chain, published a full-page advertisement in USA Today in 1998 announcing the introduction of the "Left-Handed Whopper," specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new burger included the same ingredients as the original, but the condiments were rotated 180 degrees. The chain said it received thousands of requests for the new burger, as well as orders for the original "right-handed" version.

 Noted British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on the radio in 1976 that at 9:47 am, a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event, in which Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, would cause a gravitational alignment that would reduce the Earth's gravity. Moore told listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment of the planetary alignment, they would experience a floating sensation. Hundreds of people called in to report feeling the sensation
