Yes, all my posts yesterday were inspired by April Fools day.
A Curate's Egg - Eel skin wallets and their effect on credit cards.
The Curate After Dark - Clomipramine, the drug that makes you have an orgasm when you yawn.
Hen Buddhism - The Second Coming Project, aiming to clone Jesus from DNA in old Holy Relics.
The Odd Angry Squawk - The call sign, N166ER, on Air Force One.
The Chemist's Kitchen - Tha Celery has negative calories.
As it happens, all sounded suitably April Foolery, but two are true and three are false.
...
I used www.snopes.com to find the stories.
ReplyDeleteThe celery story and the clomipramine story are apparently true.
Well, that's a relief, as I would hate to think that if someone were calling a cloned Jesus on Air Force One, he would get a shock from his own wallet!
ReplyDeleteWhew! I was SO hoping that orgasm thing was true. Now I just need a doc to write me a 'script... ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! The celery story is true, I believe...
ReplyDeleteAs for the others, well, I'll take them with a pinch of salt.. although if Snopes says that yawning can give you an orgasm... I'll take some of that! oops - was that too naughty??
I'm surprised you didn't use last year's Guinness ad - much more appropriate for your neck of the woods ! http://thegingermonkey.blogspot.com/2008/04/guinness-april-fool-ad-genius.html
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know you play!
