Gothamist considered a few options for this post, but decided the best we could do was revisit a post from one year ago: Hamish the British Scuba Dog. We hope to make Hamish an April 1 tradition. But here are Gothamist's rejected April Fool's Ideas: - Kidnapping Thompson - Only panda posts all day - Embracing CSI - Folding due to frustration over rabid commenters - Announcing that we were moving to L.A. - Giving up red meat
Gothamist doesn't have many April Fool's Day stories, because, well, we're getting fooled all the time. But if you've been fooled - or fooled others - tell us in the comments.
Michael Jackson is the most foolish American for the second year in a row today, followed by sister Janet, Martha Stewart, and Britney Spears (ladies, represent!). A little about the history of April Fool's Day. And Anil's plea for today ("Okay, DAD.").




April fooled? I totally fell for the Time Out tomfoolery "Out There" front section yesterday. So much so that I started writing a letter. In my pot-shot taking defense, the content was as insipid and ridiculous as TONY’s usual fare.

The folks at Google.com have their sense of humor working overtime this April Fool’s. Try the following trick that’s making its way around the net for a laugh: 1) Go to Google.com. 2) Type in (but don't hit enter): "weapons of mass destruction,” including quotation marks. 3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, instead of the normal "Google search" button. 4) READ CAREFULLY what appears to be a normal ERROR message. Make sure you read the whole error message.
aww, Hamish
uh...that weapons of mass destruction thing has been around forever.
Hmmmmm interesting !!!
