    Dan's April Fools' Jokes This Year

    After JTA and I's monster plan for a great April Fools' joke got rained-off this year (maybe another year), I just had to go ahead with two smaller April Fools' gags this year.



    The Photocopier Prank

    A nice simple joke at the expense of the people in the office building I work in (and far less complex โ€ฆ

  • My April Fools

    I've always had a thing for big, overcomplicated April Fools' gags. Traditionally, we'd always play pranks on Penbryn Halls at the University, but it's not so easy these days to gain access to halls of residence, now that they've installed door locks that don't open by themselves when you so much as breathe hard on โ€ฆ

  • Daddy, Why Did We Have To Attack Iraq

    Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?
    Because they had weapons of mass destruction.

    But the inspectors didn't find any weapons of mass destruction.
    That's because the Iraqis were hiding them.

    And that's why we invaded Iraq?
    Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.

    But after we invaded them, we STILL didn't find any weapons of mass destruction, did we?
    That's โ€ฆ

  • Those Commie Martians

    This story about the European Space Agency by the BBC reads:

    ...The Mars Exploration Rovers will touch down in January next year, just after the Europeans arrive with their Marx Express mission in December...
