April Fools' Day - Love Jokes!
There is nothing like sharing some rib-tickling jokes with your sweetheart on the 1st of April. Love makes the world go around and makes us go around too! A couple of tricks and gags pulled on your beloved just adds to the fun factor to the relationship. Just be careful, not to take the joke too far.

But, if you want to play it safe and stick around to just plain old jokes, here's a couple that I found. They are good and clean! :)

Two friends are discussing the possibility of love. "I thought I was in love three times," one friend says.

"How so?" his friend asks.

"Five years ago I deeply cared for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me."

"Was that not love?" his friend asks.

"No," he replies. "That was obsession. And then two years ago I deeply cared for an attractive woman who didn't understand me."

"Was that not love?"

"No," he replies. "That was lust. And just last year I met a woman aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean. She was smart, funny, and a great conversationalist. And everywhere I followed her on that boat, I would get this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach."

"Was that not love?" his friend asks.

"No," he replies. "That was motion sickness."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A small piece of sodium which lived in a test tube fell in love with a Bunsen burner.

"Oh Bunsen, my flame. I melt whenever I see you . . .", the sodium pined.

"It's just a phase you're going through", replied the Bunsen burner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Math is like love; a simple idea, but it can get complicated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If you love something, set it free.

If it comes back, it was and always will be yours.

If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.

If it just sits in your living room and messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money and never behaves as if you actually set it free in the first place -- you either married it or gave birth to it!

April Fools' Day - 2005 gags!

Google Gulp Hits Marketplace -

This past April 1, 2005 search engine giant Google penetrated the market with their new Google Gulp beta in four juicy flavors. The Google Gulp is a sort of pick-me-up like Red Bull or Jolt cola without the after taste.

According to Google, "Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drink™ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it's low in carbs!"

Ohio Barracuda Sighting-

ST. MARYS -- A local fisherman spotted an unusual inhabitant during a recent fishing trip to Grand Lake St. Marys. Upon further inspection, the inhabitant turned out to be a fish not common to the area.

Fisherman and outdoor enthusiast Max Power spotted a four-foot barracuda in the lake Tuesday afternoon. According to Power, the discovery came as a bit of a surprise since barracudas are not native to Ohio waterways.

"I was reaching down into the water and saw a rather large shadow approaching the boat," Power said. "At first I did not recognize it, but as it drew closer I noticed it was a barracuda."
Power acted fast and snatched his fishing net from the boat and put it in the water. After a few minutes of waiting, the fish swam into the net and Power pulled it into the boat.

"I couldn't believe how big it was," he said of the barracuda. "Luckily, I had my camera with me, so I quickly snapped a shot and released it back into the water -- those things got some teeth on them."

Barracudas are usually found along the sandy coasts of warmer waters, like Florida and the Caribbean. Spotting one in St. Marys, while rare, is not totally out of the picture according to a wild life official. "With the number of people buying exotic pets increasing, it is not unfeasible for this to happen," Director of the Federal Organization on Observing Lakes (FOOL) Bill Bigsby said. "More and more people are buying pets online and dumping them once they cannot care for them anymore."

Despite being a saltwater fish, Bigsby noted that it is possible for a barracuda to thrive in an environment similar to Grand Lake St. Marys. Given the fish content of the lake, the fish could sustain itself for several years.

"It's not out of the realm of possibility," Bigsby added. "There have been stories of alligators living in Lake Erie so this is not impossible." While barracudas often earn a fierce reputation, Bigsby noted that visitors to the lake should not be leery of entering the waters. Barracudas do not usually pose a threat to swimmers.

"They (swimmers) really don't have anything to worry about," he said. "Barracudas are like most fish and are more afraid of you than you are of them. Chances are if you see one, it would swim away faster than you could."

FOOL officials are currently conducting a study into how many barracudas could be living in the lake. After an accurate count of the fish is determined, a decision would be made whether to remove the population of barracudas or allow them to remain in the lake.

"Once we come to a conclusion on whether or not they are causing environmental damage we will decide," he said. "If they are not harming the fish population or the environment we will let them stay."

Bigsby is also pondering whether or not to file criminal charges against the person who released the barracuda into the lake. While Bigsby acknowledged tracking the fish to a specific individual(s) would be extremely difficult, he hopes to discourage others from buying exotic pets. "It's a practice we want to stop," he added. "These animals should be left in their natural habitats and not sold as pets to some one who thinks it would be cool to own one."

As for Power, he will never forget the day he went fishing and came home with a story to tell for years to come. "I'll never forget seeing that barracuda," he said. "It's not every day you catch one of those in Ohio."

Although netting fish on any Ohio waterway is illegal, people are encouraged to net the barracuda if the have a chance. Anyone who catches or sees a barracuda in Grand Lake-St. Marys should contact FOOL officials at 419-555-7414 and wait until officials arrive, do not release the fish.

There's A Moose In The Garden -

Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten got a rise out of its readership by running several April Fool's hoaxes meant to get a rise out of readers such as "Oslo's local ski association wants to sell the venerable Holmenkollen Ski Jump to a housing developer, and use the proceeds to build a bigger, controversial ski jump in a nearby valley."

The April Fools custom we liked though is how some Norwegians on April 1 will tell their friends and neighbors that there is a moose in their yard... (though sometimes, there really is!)

April Fools' Day - 2004 gags!

April 1 More Intense Than Mars -

Astrophysicists have announced a surprising discovery that April Fool's Day is actually more intense of Mars. Several factors account for this such as gravity, the force that opposes comedy throughout the universe and the extended length of the martian day.

Oprah – Fourth Person On The Trinity -

Popular talk show host passes up presidential nomination for 2008 in order to take a more esteemed position as the 4th person of the Trinity.

VATICAN CITY, APRIL 1 -- Oprah Winfrey has been declared the fourth person of the Trinity, according to an astonishing new theological agreement hammered out by the world's major Christian denominations. Along with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the popular talk show host will be recognized as one person in the sacred and indivisible unity of the Godhead--or Quadhead, as the updated Trinity will now be called.

Cross And Lopez Replace Howard Stern -

Fans who tuned into the Howard Stern show today were met with perky morning duo, Cross and Lopez. Cross and Lopez were promising fun without all the filth. They played Clay Aiken songs and other top 40 hits and talked about the movies that are coming out this weekend. They also played a message from the station's general manager stating Stern had to be taken off the air because of threats from the FCC. The pranks lasted for 90 minutes until Stern came back on the air to say, 'April Fool.'

April Fools' Day - 2003 gags!

April 1, is the one holiday of the year were we all can expect all things foolish. No matter how smart we are, on this single day of the year we can be caught off-guard. Enjoy these excerpts of these practical jokes and gags that I found in this site, from down the millennium!

Monkey Cloned; Types In Fluent English -

A company named First Genetics has cracked the Primate genetic code and created the world's first genetically engineered monkey. 'Marty the Mandrill,' as they've named him, is also the first genetically engineered organism to show signs of intelligence manipulation through selective chromosome laser enhancement. The result has stunned the science world. Marty is the only primate able to communicate with Homo Sapiens in their own language via typing in fluent English."

You can talk to Marty live via webcam if you wish. Dr Brockenführ is Marty's creator and will explain in detail why he chose to clone a monkey and how it came to be that Marty speaks fluent English.

Suffering Succotash, It's Ice Cream -

Ice cream maker, Scott Aldrich concocted a dreadful dessert for his customers on April 1: succotash ice cream. The Aldrich Beef & Ice Cream Parlor, in Fredionia, NY, just southwest of Buffalo, has been offering these wacky April Fool's Day concoctions for the past 20 years. The succotash ice cream, (35 gallons in all), is a combination of vanilla ice cream, corn, lima beans and pimentos. Past flavors have featured such things as bacon and eggs, pork and beans, creamed corn and sauerkraut.

Computer Virus Spreads to Human -

A software developer from Houston, Texas has become the first human to contract a computer virus, microbiologists have confirmed. John Newman, an employee of vTouch Systems, came into contact with the virus through the use of a neural interface that his company is developing. Avril DuChamps, a spokesperson for vTouch Systems, confirmed yesterday at a press conference that Newman had come down with the virus. All activities at vTouch have been suspended until further notice.

April Fools' Day - Pranks!
If pranks is what you are after, then have a look at these. I found all of this cool stuff here!

Got Milk? - If your milk comes in a cardboard container, add a few drops of food coloring. It's harmless April Fool's joke but the results are pretty colorful.

For a fruity April Fool's practical joke, get a few gummy worms and carefully poke them into fresh fruit, particularly apples. Give mom or dad a wormy apple for lunch and leave a few apples on the table for friends and family members to snack on.

April Showers - If you have a sink with a sprayer, put a rubber band around the handle when nobody's looking. This automatically keeps the nozzle in spray-mode. Make sure the nozzle is pointing up and outward. The next person to use the sink will get a splash! Too funny!

This April Fool's practical joke is old but it still works. Superglue some coins to the sidewalk or any spot that has a lot of people walking around. Make sure it's an appropriate place, then watch people break fingernails to get the coins.

Fill a hot water bottle with blended leftovers or even pea soup. Keep the bottle hidden under your shirt near your chest and make a trip to the cafeteria. Your friends need to be in on this prank. When the cafeteria is full, make a loud noise to attract attention, bend over the table and squeeze the bottle. Your sludge should spew out all over the table like you've just thrown up.

April Fools' Day - Top Ten Hoaxes!
To play a trick on any unsuspecting victim, is the best feeling any one can have! And sometimes, the number does not to stick to any one person but runs to thousands. Tricks have ranged from simple to funny, from the bizarre to downright stupid, but the fun never stops. Here's a list of the top Ten Hoaxes, that I compiled from the Museum of Hoaxes!

1> The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
In 1957, the BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To this question, the BBC diplomatically replied that they should 'place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.'

2> Sidd Finch
In April 1985, the Sports Illustrated published a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch and he could reportedly throw a baseball with startling, pinpoint accuracy at 168 mph (65 mph faster than anyone else has ever been able to throw a ball). Surprisingly, Sidd Finch had never even played the game before. Instead, he had mastered this art in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the 'great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa.' Mets fans everywhere celebrated at their teams's amazing luck at having found such a gifted player, and Sports Illustrated was flooded with requests for more information. But in reality this legendary player only existed in the imagination of the writer of the article, George Plimpton.

3> Instant Color TV
In 1962, there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcasted in black and white. The station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Stensson then proceeded to demonstrate the process. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, out of the population of seven million, were taken in.

4> The Taco Liberty Bell
In 1996, the Taco Bell Corporation announced that it had bought the Liberty Bell from the federal government and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called up the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell is housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed that it was all a practical joke a few hours later.

5> San Serriffe
In 1977, the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean consisting of several semi-colon-shaped islands. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this obscure nation. Its two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was named after printer's terminology. The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that then gripped the British tabloids in the following decades.

6> Nixon for President
In 1992, National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation program announced that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Nixon delivering his candidacy speech. Listeners responded viscerally to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon's voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.

7> Alabama Changes the Value of Pi
The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Before long the article had made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly made its way around the world, forwarded by people in their email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by a physicist named Mark Boslough.

8> The Left-Handed Whopper
In 1998, Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich.

9> Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers
In its April 1995 issue, Discover Magazine announced that the highly respected wildlife biologist Dr. Aprile Pazzo had discovered a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. These fascinating creatures had bony plates on their heads that, fed by numerous blood vessels, could become burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speeds. They used this ability to hunt penguins, melting the ice beneath the penguins and causing them to sink downwards into the resulting slush where the hotheads consumed them. After much research, Dr. Pazzo theorized that the hotheads might have been responsible for the mysterious disappearance of noted Antarctic explorer Philippe Poisson in 1837. Discover received more mail in response to this article than they had received for any other article in their history.

10> Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity
In 1976, the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.

April Fools' Day - Origin!

April Fools' Day is one day that is welcomed with both joy and trepidation! Joy for those who love playing pranks and trepidation for those, who are likely to be the targets. But hey, no matter what... there is so much fun involved, that few actually mind being targeted!

Nobody actually knows where did this day suddenly come to be celebrated. Playing pranks on people is not something new, but to have a day officially designated for it, is a very cool idea. So, here's a place that I found, where you can get some idea about the theories that do the rounds about the origin... while I go and brush up on my bag of tricks and treats!
