Fooled You

Or not.
I think this has been the first time I've actually paid attention to April Fools Day on BZP. Most of the other years, I've been busy or the servers been nasty. Anyway, it was kinda fun. I pulled two pranks... first there was the blog entry about my name change. Ha. I hate name changes. I only wish I had been more inventive with the names that I posted... X Death? Blah. But the side bars came out well. Although it was a pain to post in a new font and color for a day. My second prank was a fake chapter to Many Adventures. I really need to update at least one of my stories this weekend...
I saw a lot of pranks today, and the members really got to fool people in the blogs. There were plenty of people leaving, and a few who posted stuff that was completely opposite from what they'd ordinarily do (like me). One cool one was a look at 09 set names... Then there were the official ones, like the Book series coming out. When I first saw the title on the forum's main page, I thought it was an announcement of the next Bionicle series name (There was Bionicle Adventures in the Metru/Hordika era, Bionicle Legends in the Inika/Mahri/Phantoka era, and there should be another set for 09 and on. But once I read it, I came to realize its true meaning. Although I doubt the Makuta would share their recipes with us, I thought the edits were very good. And, of course, the "No Block Approvals" thing... I think it's a joke, because it doesn't make too much sense compared to the other rules they have up there. Yeah, they can make a blog messy, but the blog owner should be the one to clean it up. I took that seriously for a while, until I began to think about it. Then, of course, I drew my final conclusion.
As for in real life... nope, nothing happened. I had good pizza, though, so I don't think that was a prank.
So, if you pulled off a prank, post it here, and we can compare results. I don't think I fooled anybody for long. At the end of my fake chapter, I confessed that it was a fake (and I also wrote "Fake" colored white in the chapter title too, if anybody caught that). The blog entry might not have been so obvious, but I did label all the new pictures "fake" so that could've given it away. So, yeah.
And I experimented with a new emoticon, although I still used (and prefer) my music one.
Edit: And I have 16 guests viewing my blog.
