This
post is real. I mean, it's an April Fool's Day post, about April
Fool's Day, but I didn't make any of these amazing pranks up, I swear!
As you can tell from other posts that went up today, April Fool's Day can inspire the world's greatest minds to tremendous heights of creativity. Which is probably necessary to trick people who should, on this one day a year, be expecting numerous attempts to dupe them.
What else besides pure imaginative genius helps make a prank successful? Well, it certainly doesn't hurt if you're a famous expert in your field, so the public is more prone to believe whatever crazy announcement you come up with. And the more esoteric your field of knowledge, the better - I mean, when a world-renowned astrophysicist claims that the alignment of Jupiter and Pluto has caused a reduction in the earth's gravitational field, is Joe Schmoe really going to challenge him (see Hoax #10)?
