Re: So its April Fools
Various women in my office mentioned a "negative calorie cake" which helped you lose wieght the more you ate which was on TV this morning.
Some of the fatter ones were visually upset when they heard it was just a joke.

Re: So its April Fools

i figured the 'old switcheroo' was worth it.

I actually saw a thing about that on the news yesterday so I reckon it's real. An underground chicken pen was used to keep the nuclear landmine at exactly the right temperature.

Re: So its April Fools
http://www.nottinghamforest.premiumt...508287,00.html

Nottingham Forest were stunned – and delighted - to be told today that they have been invited to take part in a European Champions Reserve's League for next season.
The invitation has come from UEFA, who are organising the competition among former winners of the European Champions League and the European Cup as it was when Forest won it in 1979 and 1980.
The idea for the competition was the brainchild of UEFA President Lennart Johansson, who wants to embody the ‘European footballing family’.
It would be impractical for the proposed tournament to involve senior sides because the on-going participation in Europe of clubs like Real Madrid, Ajax and AC Milan would prevent them taking part in a separate competition.
So it has been decided to open the new tournament to reserve sides of former winners and in England’s case that means Forest, Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa.
The format for the competition has yet to be confirmed but with less clubs involved, it is expected to be on a home and away and straight knock-out basis.
Said Forest Chief Executive Mark Arthur:
“We are thrilled at the prospect of being involved in the new tournament. It’s nice to be rewarded for our European Cup history.
“We have only just been notified of the invitation today but we understand that a meeting is being planned in Geneva next month at which all the participating clubs will be represented.
“We will know a lot more about the tournament then but in the meantime everyone at The City Ground is very excited about the invitation.”

It's still on the website... does that mean they're fools or is it true?
EDIT http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/aprilfool2.html (greatest april fools of all time)
actually these are GENIOUS!
oh and jokes in todays papers: http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/sto...183684,00.html

Re: So its April Fools
I'm annoyed by all this "-ends at 12" stuff. Surely if that were true, it would be called "April Fool's Morning", and not DAY.

10. The F1 tradition of spraying champagne from the winner's podium has been banned at Sunday's inaugural Bahrain Grand Prix. Alcohol and scantily-clad "pit girls" are not be appreciated in the Islamic country, officials say.

Re: So its April Fools
A mate of mine sent a SMS saying that the stupid girl to my other mate (witch I wrote a thread on some weeks ago) was having twins.
For some secounds I was really worried
Then ofc I though about how realistic that was, that they had done a scan so early on...

Re: So its April Fools
The only one that I ever fell for was when I got to school one day and they told me the Head of IT wanted to see me in his office. Since I was always doing stupid things on the network and could have been expelled at any number of points, I was positively shitting myself on the long walk to his office. Was about to knock on his door when I heard various people burst into fits of laughter behind me
Annoyingly that morning I had remembered it was 1st April, and made a conscious effort not to be gullible that morning. By the time I got to school I had completely forgotten.

Re: So its April Fools
Best April fools joke I saw was by my parents last year. My brother has haemophilia and using an old appointment letter they scanned in all the hospital logos, the doctor's signiture etc... They then made a letter saying that they had a new treatment which they wanted to test on him. Unfortunatly it would involve all of his hair being shaved off and could he please phone the hospital to arrange an appointment for this to be done. As the letters are normally addressed to our parents they just give it to him already opened when he woke up and he shit himself. He totally forgot it was April the 1st and had a huge panic attack. I woke up while he was screaming and also forgot the date but couldn't stop laughing. I was gutted to learn it was fake
