I like the Burger King "left-handed Whopper" where thousands of people tried to order it (no doubt the vast majority by democrats/DUmmies.
And the Taco Liberty Bell is good. Aren't all things of note now making money with sponsors?
You aren't going to fool me. I know darn well no one ever tried to pull off ANY of those stunts.
Coast to Coast has purchased naming rights, It's going to be the Slightly Cracked Art Bell in Philidelpia...
the left-handed whopper and the last one about the gravity and the floating sensation were my faves... Mike McCurry--who i could not stand--was pretty clever coming up with the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial joke... it's good to know people were outraged about the Liberty Bell... at least they seem to care...
I am one of the ones who ordered the right handed Whopper (she admits sheepishly) but it proves I have ALWAYS been a conservative.
April fool! Which of my statements is NOT true? ;9)
I don’t know about these but a true story: a few years ago my favorite radio station – WRNR in Annapolis MD, suddenly made a format change.
One morning I woke up and WRNR went from Eclectic Adult Alternative and were now WOMB – “The Womb – All music by women, for women - all the time”.
All the DJ’s were now woman and the play list mostly consisted of the Idigo Girls (not always so bad) but also some really out there strange stuff – even their website changed overnight.
This was a real blow to me since the only other alternative rock station in the area had recently just as suddenly switched to all Spanish speaking – Latin music only.
I was very upset. I was dating a guy at the time who shared my musical tastes and that night on our date, the format change was almost all we talked about.
Then on my way home, he called me on my cell and we both realized that it was April 1st and both started to wonder if it wasn’t a joke.
The next morning my favorite radio station came back and they spent the rest of the day apologizing for their April Fools joke and re-assuring listeners that the WOMB was just a joke.

I saw a film clip of the spaghetti harvesters plucking strands of spaghetti off the spaghetti trees. It's hard to believe anyone could be that ignorant, but no matter how dumb and obvious a hoax is there are always a lot of people who fall for it. :0)
And we wonder how Democrats get elected.
That is pretty funny, actually. Spaghetti trees don't grow in Switzerland. They're strictly tropical.

BEST APRIL FOOL'S JOKE:
In Alaska, a dormant volcano started smoking. Planes were sent up. Found: ring of old tires set on fire, big sign in the middle, "April Fools!"
- In 2004 Dan Rather of CBS News presented a memo that was critical of President Bush's military performance. It was later revealed that the memo was a hoax...and all of America had a good old belly laugh over the matter.
(did I remember this one correctly?)
BYTE magazine a number of years ago had a big ad for Write-Only Memory, "the optimal solution for your obsolete but sensitive data", etc.
Locally, (San Jose, CA), the free weekly printed a story back in 1993 about how there was gold under one of the malls here, but due to various recently-discovered title/survey irregularities, the land was not officially "owned" by anybody. They had a picture in their next issue with a crowd of people at the door with pick-axes, shovels, etc.
