WATCH OUT! APRIL FOOLS TOMORROW!

Be on yer guard! There’s a lot of us devilish pranksters about.

Oh wow! Already? Thanks for reminding me.

I guess that explains why Cranberry has to go to the moon? Or is that just some secret crystal people code for getting a new super fancy whistle?

You can’t fool me, bucko, April Fools day is today.

I have a calendar! And a watch! I am immune to date and time pranks!

My spellchecker tried tricking me into correcting my identity from
mackhoover
to
makeover.

I’m too old to change!

Mack, I’d rather have a makeover than be considered “aery”, which is what my spellchecker did to aderyn. It was either that, or “adder”. :laughing:

Actually, come to think of it, aery probably is appropriate for this air-abundant astral chart of mine. :wink:

Ever the aery-faery,

TEASER: As a public radio employee, I thought I should pass along that NPR’s All Things Considered WILL air its annual April Fool’s story today. It will run at about 5:55 Eastern time.

HINT: Listen for a story about the Library of Congress.

For those April whistlers:

The United Whistles Inspection Team discovered high-purity aluminum tubes in Iraq. It was believed by them that Iraq was attempting to produce illegal inferior Whistles of Mass Instructions (WMI).

In order to control the whistle market, a group of whistle makers petitioned the Undisputed King of Internet Tin Whistle Journalism to look into this matter. Apparently the email was lost or intercepted by the Crystal people who also want to inflict the whistle playing world with WMI - Whistles of Mass Instructions and other insidious plots.

Inspection teams searchedigh and low throughout the country for the high grade aluminum. They found a few chemical warheads and few useless nuclear components but not what they were looking for. Distressed, they went home and decided to counter attack with Whistles of Simple Instructions. A few weeks later, satellite photos were discovered to further the cause of the war. It turns out that the Iraq Whistles of Mass Instructions were to include something that is considered insidious to the average tin whistle player. A thumb hole! :angry:

The inspection team will likely bring this damaging evidence to secret mountainside C&F headquarters in Alabama. They now believe that they can convince the undisputed one to enact Anti-Whoa economic sanctions against Iraq. :roll:

Happy April Fools Day.
