anyways.
1st April seems like a hilarious day in history.
According to
Wikipedia(pranks):
Defying gravity: In 1976, British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore told listeners of BBC Radio 2 that unique alignment of two planets would result in an upward gravitational pull making people lighter at precisely 9:47 a.m. that day. He invited his audience to jump in the air and experience "a strange floating sensation."
Dozens of listeners phoned in to say the experiment had worked.
Smell-o-vision: In 1965, the BBC purported to conduct a trial of a new technology allowing the transmission of odor over the airwaves to all viewers.
Many viewers reportedly contacted the BBC to report the trial's success. This hoax was also conducted by the Seven Network in Australia in 2005.
The gullible people who'll believe anything the media presents. lols.Tower of Pisa: The Dutch television news reported once in the 1950s that the Tower of Pisa had fallen. Many shocked people contacted the station.
Gotta love this one. lols.Neopets has performed numerous April Fools' jokes, including releasing 50 new pets, abolishing "NeoPoints" completely, and charging Neopoints to use the site.
I remember this. lols. My cousin foolishly spent all his neopoints upon the "abolishing Neopoints" prank.SARS Infects Hong Kong: In 2003 during the time when Hong Kong is seriously hit by SARS, it was rumored that many people in Hong Kong had become infected with SARS and become uncontrolled, that all immigration ports would be closed to quarantine the region, and that Tung Chee Hwa, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong at that time, had resigned. Hong Kong supermarkets were immediately overwhelmed by panicked shoppers. The Hong Kong government held a press conference to deny the rumor. The rumor, which was intended as an April Fools' prank, was started by a student by imitating the design of Ming Pao newspaper website.
He was charged for this incident.Talk about harmless pranks. =/There's alot more.
Go check it out.
