    Now that’s it well past midday: what have been people been fooled by today? I clicked on the mod announcement without a second thought and laughed so hard, but also got tricked by a post about a whale shark in the bay. Every year I look forward to what Virgin Australia will come out with, along with Blizzard’s WoW patch notes (I wonder if that’s still a thing), though I’m often fooled on April 2nd by the posts that happen overnight.

    A couple of years ago I saw a cute video of a car that drove around Denver CO with a coffee cup taped to their roof - that’s the kinda IRL prank I like, the ones that don’t hurt anyone but just cause a “OH!” sort of moment.

      Today when I was out n about I was sitting at lights behind a car, in the left lane and I got beeped (more than once) by the dickhead behind me because it wanted to turn left into the main road. I thought it was a joke cos where the fuck am I going? Up this guys clacker so you can attempt to squeeze past in your bucket of shit. I wasn’t fooled.

      The Mod post is the only things I’ve seen at all. Hoping the otherside of the planet might deliver soon.

      My kid has been rather lax about schoolwork and ambivalent about school overall, so I told him that we had decided to transfer him to butler school.

      I was very pleased with my prank but he was on to it in about 15 seconds

      Nothing will ever beat Red Symons April Fools Day prank about the spaghetti farms of Italy.
      EDIT: sorry that wasn’t him - his prank was Drive To Work Day.

      Also, late last year I got fooled by Captain Kate’s April Fools video about her cat Bug being able to get around Celebrity Beyond, but mostly because I saw it months after and didn’t check the date on the video!
