Default April Fools Day 2009

So what are people planning?

Me, I'm being sinister. I've mentioned a couple of times that I've got a few good ones cooked up, but I'm not doing a single thing. Its worked. A co-worker locked up his office so that nobody can play a joke on him. He went through steps to put an alarm on his iMac so we can't do anything to him. He always cries when people play jokes on him, but has no problem playing jokes on others. The jokes on him, he went though all these measures to keep his office safe, but nothing was going to happen to him anyway.

Well, I am going to play one joke on a couple of people. I'm going to do a harmless thing where I zip tie the height adjustment handle on their chair. They'll sit down and their chair will go straight to the bottom, but raise back up when they stand up. I did that last year to somebody and he got a good kick out of it.

Default Nice one, youtube!

Just thought I'd share this with everyone...

Logged into youtube about 15 minutes ago and wanted to watch the preview for Survivor. I load the page but everything's backwards and upside-down! Naturally, you'd think I were stoned or drunk or whatever. Nope. However, I do admit I thought I was WAY out of it. I gotta hand it to YouTube for this one... totally got me for a sec there!

Screenshot:

And I love the "Tips for viewing this page" page:
http://homepage.mac.com/etchy_sketch...ps_youtube.jpg

Needless to say, Happy April Fools Everyone!

I have 2 bosses (business partners). I filled one's office with 360 Balloons and put "Teen Heartthrob" pics all over the other office (yes my boss is a guy).

The pics are a little blurry as I took them with my Blackberry while laughing.

Nice job HD!

April Fools was yesterday down here. I convinced my gf's sister that I got my gf pregnant and we wanted her to adopt our love child. I'm pretty good at keeping a straight face... Kept it going until she was visibly upset...

Introducing CADIE

Quote:
For several years now a small research group has been working on some challenging problems in the areas of neural networking, natural language and autonomous problem-solving. Last fall this group achieved a significant breakthrough: a powerful new technique for solving reinforcement learning problems, resulting in the first functional global-scale neuro-evolutionary learning cluster.

Since then progress has been rapid, and tonight we're pleased to announce that just moments ago, the world's first Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity (CADIE) was switched on and began performing some initial functions.
She even has her own blog!

Is it just me or have people forgot the real meaning of April Fools day.

Its all about the mental torture of putting together a prank that lasts four hours with the intent of at 11:59 letting your victim off of the hook after they've spent the morning sweating and feeling the pain in their chest and their left arm.

Putting balloons in offices is funny, but not an april fools day prank. However distributing offensive but not illegal porn in a co workers office and then letting HR know is April fools.

Girl friends pulling off the I'm late line and carrying it through is april fools.

Being convincing enough that everyone believes that Bob who actually took the morning off was either fired or horribly burned in a hot tub accident is april fools.

It drives me crazy when people don't have the patience for the payoff.

Some one crafted a story this morning that a client was pulling their business from us, and when I said really the person laughed and said APRIL FOOLS. God D@amn punks don't have the patience to be good at April fools to create a hoax involving a cast of dozens and at the final moment of the morning as your friend or family member or coworker is a complete mess, you release them from the prank and laugh in their face.

OK, Mr. Downer what prank did you do today?

At least my "prank" made people laugh and kept my bosses wondering all day who did it? Watching him pop 360 balloons with a pen made my day. I was finally busted when they checked the security logs for our electronic door locks to see who came back last night.

At least I attempted to keep the meaning of April Fools day by doing SOMETHING.

Ever since last year when I put that dead hooker in my bosses trunk and they didn't find it for 3 months and the whole joke was wasted I decided to stop dragging out jokes until noon.
