I will believe absolutely nothing I read today
Edited on Sat Apr-01-06 12:43 PM by htuttle
Ever since I completely fell for the infamous Hot Headed Ice Borer hoax in Discovery magazine back in '95 and made a huge fool of myself at work (they still bring it up...), I do not believe anything I read anywhere on April 1.



And yes, I was one of the gullible millions who wrote into Discovery and asked 'WTF? This was really a hoax?'. I just could not believe Discovery magazine would lie to me. I felt terribly betrayed at the time...:D

1. Hey...don't feel bad. Just yesterday I fell for the "MrEd is really a
zebra" thing. :hug:

3. I tend to be very skeptical, but every now and then...
...well, for example, the very first time someone used the lead-up, "Did you know that the word 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?" on me, before I could stop myself, I heard myself reply, "Really?"

:banghead:

5. I fell for the Brazilian joke. Again.
I'm such an easy mark. I'm so forgetful; I keep forgetting it's April 1.
