"April Fools" threads are the stupidest thing ever.

Biggest problem: no one knows how to set up a good joke. The British did it best, with their "spaghetti harvest" news item and the Travel Guide to Sans Serif. Now, no one really looks at the details of the joke, and so it falls flat almost immediately.

I know how to set up a joke! I take that personally.

April Fools! I really don't take it personally.

Or is it April Fools to that last statement? Hmmmm......

I agree. I haven't found anything yet today that has been really funny. Same old stuff year after year.

Another good British one (copied below from mirror.co.uk):

During an interview on BBC Radio 2, on the morning of 1 April 1976, the astronomer Patrick Moore announced that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to take place. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would reduce the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation.

The BBC received hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported she and her 11 friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.

So, then, it wasn't really a joke. Was it?

TheatreDiva, I'd love to know what that woman and her 11 friends had been smokin' just before they jumped.
