-* April Fool’s

I thought about playing some April Fool’s joke today, but I couldn’t come up with something clever and harmless… So I decided to let it go.

Coming up with something to do on April Fool’s is a hard task for me. For one thing, I can never intentionally say untrue things with a straight face. My face just gives everything, every emotion away. Some people said it’s in my eyes. Whenever I have some *intentions* behind my *actions*, my eyes would spark in some odd ways.

In any case though, I’m sure I can come up with some trivial not-true things to say one day out of a whole year. The possibilities is just endless. But I really don’t want to do that kinda of thing, unless I can come up with something absolutely out there. So, I usually end up not doing anything for today at all. But I still do like reading about the jokes and the hoaxes other people pull though, especially the ones by google. Of course, this year google does it again with virgle (virgin + google), gmail custom time, or gday

The one I love most from google so far, as everyone should know by now though, is their 2004’s announcement of gmail on April Fool’s day. I don’t know… I just love the ideas of making people think it’s a hoax when it’s actually real!

All that led me to an idea that just came to me today as I was walking by a row of people rushing to sell the last batch of lotteries today before the prize is announced (*Here, lotto is out twice every month, on the 1st and the 16th (or is it the 15th? I don’t quite remember any more.))

So, the plan would be… every year, I’m going to buy just one lottery for the April 1st batch, and when I *do* win a jackpot (yah right!) I’m going to tell everyone that I win and let them thinking that I’m just playing an April Fool’s joke on them. ;) So, the joke would be everyone thinking that I’m joking when I’m actually not… and I’ll get the pleasure of announcing to the world that I won a million baht without having people to come ask me to borrow money from and all that, you see? d :

On the scale of 1-to-10… I think the chance of me actually *remembering* to do this next year is probably around a 2…

  1. Umm… so is this like a liar paradox?

    So if you say that you win next year, I’ll definitely have to think twice.. or thrice.. or heck.. i shouldn’t even bother. It already is making my head hurt.


  2. I still remember you putting that sticky stuff all over my door knob…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….


  3. Having said that, I love Google’s hoaxes too.
    And I have to admit that I miss April Fool’s edition of Brandeis’ campus newspaper. LOL.


  4. >> Val : Me? What did I do? I don’t remember any such incident………………………..
