Happy March Fools’ Day!

It’s customary to celebrate 1st April as April Fools’ Day, but there is nothing partic­u­larly impres­sive about the day that suggests that it deserves the honour. I propose that we celebrate 1st March as March Fools’ Day.

You ask why? It’s because February is a funny month. With no more than twenty-nine days, it never ceases to amaze me — I expect day 30 of the month, and lo and behold, it’s March already! Did the dog eat three days of my time?

    Saw this joke about whether a person is addicted to the Net. He steps out of his room and finds his parents have moved and he has no idea when it happened.

    I think your mom is trying to tell you something! :-)

    (Don’t give yourself over to the electronic hive. Like all techno­log­ical seduc­tions, one doesn’t acknowl­edge it is happening until one is lost, or even then…)

    It says something about the parents, doesn’t it? They get relocated and forget to tell the poor guy. :-)

    Some people may think I am addicted to the computer but I’m not really…you should see the guys who are *really* addicted. Strangely, I’ve yet to find a _girl_ who is very inter­ested in using a computer when there’s nothing that needs to be done, let alone get addicted to it. I wonder why.

    So why am I not surprised at that! Unlike guys, girls don’t go crazy over things just because they are electronic or can be made to run/ race/ fly using a remote control or have strange flashing lights or make lots of sounds (crash/bang/boom as in the video games)

    Hey, that was me– managed to misspell my own name! hmm.…well, so long as I remember my name– I guess, it’s okay :-D

    Don’t worry, I corrected the spelling. :-)

    …that today is the first of April — April Fools’ Day. So if anyone says something that is shocking, outra­geous, weird, crazy or silly, simply respond with something twice as strange as the original, and watch the look on the face of the prankster.[This
