DU Public Service Announcement

[WilliamPitt]

Tomorrow, as you all know, is April Fool's Day.

Here's what's going to happen: approximately every seven to nineteen seconds, a DUer will post a thread about a seemingly real news story or event that is, in fact, an April Fool's joke thread.

Nobody will fall for all of them, but everyone will fall for at least one of them (I tend to average three), because some of them will be very, very clever.

Two simple rules for the day:

a) Try not to believe anything you read, and try to have a sense of humor about it when - not if, when - you get duped;

b) See "a."

Enjoy, and you're welcome.

:P :P :P :P

4. Question, Mr. Pitt:

How prevalent ate copycat threads on April Fool's Day? If they're going to be all over the site, maybe I'll wait until Thursday to return.

5. I beware the Kalends of April far more than the Ides of March (nt)

8. April first, isn't that the day Sara Palin is to be raptured?

Well i will wait and see what the news reports say tomorrow.

9. And remember time zone differences

You might think it's not April 1 yet,
or you might think April 1 is over,
but it will be April 1 in a different time zone.

It's not (supposedly) an April Fool's prank!

You just can't make this stuff up!

That's what they said when they released this tripe (WARNING PDF) waving it around and calling it a budget.
