Okay, by now you’ve figured out that these are April Fools’ jokes. I thought about doing an elaborate April Fools’ Day thing today for my blog post, but I confess: I’m not good at April Fools’ Day. I’ve never been a practical joker and I’m afraid I never will be. But it’s always fun to watch someone else get April Fooled…

[Our friends at Google are pretty good at April Fools: Check out their track record here and here.]

I haven’t been April Fooled very much, but the best one I can remember was when I was a high school senior—My youth pastor told me that because of a bookkeeping error (his mistake), I wasn’t going to get a scholarship that I had worked toward for four years. In an instant, I waved goodbye to my college career that hadn’t even started yet. Yep, that was a good one.

So, I don’t have many April Fools’ stories—but now I want to hear yours!
