Rick told me that the newsletter was cancelled this month. I had a good laugh about it, but it's true. Guess the whole 1st April thing backfired on me.

Woohoo april fools day, I'd say woohoo! But I'm worried...I've got a dentist appointment...

I just hope dentists don't have a cruel sense of humour.

Flying penguins on the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/epeng001.shtml?src=ip_potpw I wonder how much of our TV licence fee they wasted on that stunt?

Dog racing on ice, French presedent to have stretch surgury to be as tall as his wife, BMW have cars with wheels to electrocute dogs when they pee on them, Big Ben (a big clock in London) to go digital all in UK newspapers.

Dentists don't have a sense of humour because they always look down in the mouth

Dang, and don't YOU make the newsletter? Why don't you make it anyway.

Here's some jokes for you
(I found them on a forum)
A certain silly man got fired from the M&M factory for throwing out the W's.

Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

How do we know the Indians were the first people in North America? They had reservations.

What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho Cheese

What did the rug say to floor?
I've got you covered

I'm not feeling it after that little prank Rick pulled in the newsletter last year...the one about the Google ads...
especially since you were in on it...and since I clicked on the damn thing.

On a Swedish radio show that airs every morning (not weekends), that I always wake up to and listen to before going to my office, there have been a build up over a few days for what I believe is a joke. By sending an SMS to a certain number with the text "lyssna" (listen) you get a software that allows you to listen to other peoples phone calls.

It all started with one of the show's host's friends who used this service to try to figure out what they would do on heir birthday. As I said it's been a build up and today they released the phone number on the radio. There have been plenty of people emailing in with their thoughts on the service. I never believed it to be true, it's too far fetched. Anyway, they released the phone number today and I realized what day it was.

BatVink:
Come on! I was expecting the newsletter in my inbox this morning. Send it out already!


YAY! The newsletter just arived minutes ago. Read the article on SGT in it

I remember creating a thread a few years ago titled "MMORPG Team Project Request" and inside it I said April Fools. Best one ever

The zelda movie on ign, is hopefully an April Fools joke.
It´s quite an effort, complete with a trailer.

The zelda one is wrong, the Triforce is on his LEFT hand, not his right... Obviously a joke, as the real movie creators would think of that.

and the effects are terrible too

Nature decided to play an April fools day joke today...It snowed for about half an hour.

It could be because it takes time for the rain to fall from the clouds and the clouds could be gone by then.
