Greetings,
Now that April Fool's Day is over ... (think of the "Now They Tell Us" rule ...)
The comic artist, Aaron Williams (Nodwick and 3 other internet comics)
offered a link to ...
"Top 10 Harmless Geek Pranks" ... pretty funny stuff.
BTW, I'm not totally convinced these are harmless ... but, "It takes all kinds".
Comments ... please ...

p.s. Just in case you're interested in the characters in Nodwick, the
Cleric is Piffany ... consider this dialog from the Nodwick for March 26 ...
Piffany ... "We thank you for your offer to help,
but Goodness and Happy Thoughts will win the day for us."
Bystander ... "Is she for real?"
Nodwick ... "I think she had a tragically supportive upbringing."

Attached Link: Penguins
There seems to have been a proliferation of hi tech. type fools this year.My favourite still has to be the penguins
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.

Thanks to Onslow for that remarkable documentary on,
Seeing that got me to thinking (a dangerous activity of mine) ... and I found,
"Swiss Spaghetti Harvest (1957)" commentary and also the
"Swiss Spaghetti Harvest (1957)" video.

I am glad the penguins didn't meet any of the Ostrich flights migrating to cooler lands.
