Valley Commuters Fall for Joke and Other April Fools Classics

KTAR, the local Phoenix radio station pulled a fast one on morning commuters today. Stating that all valley highways would be converted to toll roads starting Wednesday, it fooled quite a few people. I heard that one of the local TV stations also broadcast this news and had a field day. Very funny, guys, very funny!

I tried hard to come up with an April fools joke for this blog but with the business of life I just wasn’t able to pull it off. I was thinking of claiming Ben Bernanke made a policy decision after reading my blog, but I couldn’t get the right picture and the right script going, so I gave up last night. However let me share with you the Top 10 Best April Fools Gags according to Wired magazine.

My top three from this list:

1976 At precisely 9:47 am on April 1, Pluto will pass behind Jupiter, causing a brief reduction in Earth’s gravitational pull.

1997 Between March 31 and April 2, the World Wide Web will be closed for cleaning.

2003 Bill Gates is dead, shot by a lone gunman at a charity event in Los Angeles.

Enjoy the list.
