How April Fools Day Hit the News Stands around the World

As predicted there were some big news stories which were actually April Fools Day

Concorde to Hit the Skies again

This news story is covered on the BBC Website , when “France’s Museum of Air and Space has revealed that its announcement that Concorde was to return to the skies for a two-hour flight in June”.
Visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7975877.stm for details

I also think that the “Baby Chicks do Basic Arithmetic” is also an April Fools Hoax
See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7975260.stm

Yahoo had the following news story on their front page

Snail showers on the way

The sunny weather is due to come to an end today as downpours of snails sucked up by freak winds in France fall across parts of Britain. » Where?

Which was also a hoax !

In Ireland, the Irish Times has a story that “Electronic tagging for exiles of ‘high net worth’ proposed“, so that people who are tax exiles would be tagged (including people like U2). have a read of this story at http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2009/0401/1224243795000.html?via=mr

One of the best ones in Ireland was thanks to bookmaker, Paddy Power.

Funny Answering Machine Messages

One classic prank on April Fools Day is to remove somebodys default Answering Machine Message and replace it with a  Funny Answering Machine Message.

If you know their password this is fairly easy, some people leave it as 0000 or 1234 which is silly … too easy to login and change their details.

Anyway – Enjoy these Funny Answering Machine Messages
