Reminder about April Fools Day

<p>btw, it also works with ctrl-alt-left/right arrow. My H is CIO and loves this for tomorrow!</p>

<p>Perhaps what was funny with one version of an operating system isn’t really a silly joke with an updated one.
Meanwhile, I’m sitting here with huge resolution that I can’t find a way out of - nothing turned upside down or right-side up…</p>

<p>I’m about to use words that my students go to detention for.</p>

<p>Lots of them.</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, the thread-opening post from two years ago was a warning about not believing just anything posted at this time of year about facts you haven’t checked yourself. I hope everyone has a safe and peaceful 1 April 2010, without mishap.</p>

<p>Never, never, never, never, never believe anything on any forum… even those posted by the “most trusted” people.</p>

<p>They may not intend any harm but the also may not know what they are suggesting!</p>

<p>This is one of my favorite threads!</p>

<p>Please, please don’t accept, download, read, look at, or accept in any other wayor other info. My computer is stil messed up.</p>

<p>My D’s birthday is today, April 1. Last year she received 4 college admissions rejects on March 31. Her birthday was pretty solemn. This year (her first in college) she has been telling people for months that her birthday is April 1, because she says if she tells them on that day no one believes her and thinks its a joke!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reminder. I’m not a fan of practical jokes and that sort of thing so it would not have occurred to me.</p>

<p>Oh dear, I’m really sorry that about any trouble I caused relating to the screen trick. It worked beautifully for me so I thought it was harmless! Didn’t mean to mess anyone up!! (when I have computer problems I can’t solve, I usually try a system restore…to the prior day…it only takes a few minutes and no files are lost).</p>

<p>This year, I am doing NOTHING in the way of practical jokes. I only participate once every 20 years ago or so :slight_smile: (I clearly remember my brother and me putting salt in my dads’ sugar bowl…I think I was around 10).</p>

<p>Google practical joke–They have changed their name to Topeka.</p>

<p>college_query - today too is my birthday. I am pretty sure that my 50th IS a cruel joke!</p>

<p>I’ve got a D turning 15 today. It’s not so fun for her when we pretend we forgot her birthday as an April Fool.</p>

<p>I got a kick out of this news item today:</p>

<p>My hometown paper always has an April fools article. I love it. This year, scientists have discovered a new species of pygmy sheep. I was fooled years ago. Now I look for what they are doing this year. April Fools! Bless 'em!</p>

<p>I am looking for a good one to play on my husband…any ideas?</p>

<p>My favorite one I played on my daughter some years ago…told her she had an eye appointment, and picked her up at school. Drove her to the local I ce cream parlor. She laughed, and ordered a milkshake.</p>
