Heads UP! Tomorrow's April 1st!

Which means that its April Fool's Day. So get ready for all the false news reports in the papers and even on this forum. Sorry if I'm spoiling the fun for some of you who were already planning some bizarre story about a new building development or something on this forum lol!

The Sun ran a story today about how starting this summer, to compete with 3D movies and 3DTV, they were going to be offering 4D versions of the newspaper. This included vouchers for 3D glasses and scratch 'n sniff features for stories.

I totally fell for it until they mention that you could find a scratch 'n sniff feature on the front page of the sports section of today's paper.

Doh! Got me!

Best April Fools joke was when a local radio station ran a 'news story' that due to problems with the landing sites in California and Florida, the Space Shuttle would be landing in Vancouver using the new north runway at the airport.

This apparently caused gridlock on the Arthur Lang Bridge with people driving as slow as possible the be there when the Space Shuttle flew by overhead.
