See my helpful sticky note on my monitor?
It is in the hope that this year for the first year ever, I will not immediately believe that (1) my radio station is switching to an all-polka format, (2) Google is offering a dating service, (3) someone is pregnant, or (4) etc.
I am stuck on the apostrophe. I looked it up on Wikipedia and all the possible origins included multiple fools, which would imply that it is the day belong to many fools, or April Fools’ Day. This is also how it’s punctuated on Wikipedia. But everyone else puts the apostrophe BEFORE the S. WHICH IS RIGHT???
For about twenty minutes today I believed that Jupiter and Saturn were aligning in such a way that at 8:34 am, there would be a one second suspension of gravity.
I thought it sounded far-fetched, but I’m not going to lie, I pretty much fell for it. Thankfully, it was something I heard on the radio, so nobody really SAW me fall for it.
I’m a fool :)
Gmail is offering a new Autopilot feature that will answer all your emails for you and Facebook figured out that I’m Obama’s fourth cousin. I’m believing NOTHING today. NOTHING.
Jess Loolu- I KNOW. I had it as “April Fools Day” at first, and added the apostrophe after seeing that all three calendars in our house had it there. But how can that be right?
P.S. OMG look at the Whole Foods home page. The whole thing is a big April Fool. My favorite part is the new branch in Antarctica that sells 90% seafood, with the line of penguins out the door.
OMG – that is freaking hilarious!!
I’m with you, Swistle. I fall for something EVERY year. I can’t stand it! But no matter what I do to try to remember, it never fails, I believe someone’s joke. I’m just a fool I suppose.
Do NOT like the fakeout “I’m pregnant” April Fool. Oh look I made you get all excited and happy for me ha ha ha ha haaaaa! Lame.
I think it’s “April Fool’s Day” because it’s like, the One April Fool Who Got Tricked Back In History And Now It Is His Day.
Maybe?
Not sure.
I liked YouTube… you clicked on a video on their homepage and then everything went upside down, with a “Tips On How To Use The New Layout” section on the side. That was entertaining.
Also like http://www.funnyordie.com/ today (Will Ferrel’s jokey video website?)… it changed to Reba or Die and was completely taken over by Reba McEntire EVERYTHING, including a press release and blog entry about it all, LOL. Totally worth checking out.
I like the little things that favourite websites do… I sort of find it fun.
A girl in my class today pulled the “I’m expecting! NOT!” thing today. Not cool.
I drove into work, passing THREE parked cars completely covered in cling wrap, and still didn’t twig. I completely understand your need for a Post-It.
heh. i would have completely forgotten, except early in the day someone emailed me to ask if my roommate’s facebook status was an april fools’ (fool’s? WHATEV) joke or not, which alerted me for the rest of the day.
(her status was that we’d found a snake in the apartment, btw. heh.)
I can’t tell you how tempted I was to post a pregnancy announcement either on Facebook or on my blog yesterday. I decided not to do it, but MAN! The temptation was huge.
Yeah.. the bad part for me is that I’m readg posts from M-today today. So I keep forgetting that it WAS April Fools. *sigh*
