April Fools' Day!

Last year, Wikipedia featured the article of George Washington, an inventor of instant coffee. This year, if you go to the Main Page, you can say "Ima Hogg". Yes, it's that time of the year. April 1. April Fools' Day. We had spaghetti trees, we had a decreased gravity due to the conjunction of Pluto and Jupiter, and we also saw Square and Enix's merger into Square Enix (well, this one's true).

It's such a great day to see how creative human beings can be. Big Ben replaced with a giant digital clock?? That's original. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy spearheading a campaign to improve Britons' style?? That's just fresh. And don't forget about the little pranks we do, they deserve the same praise.

It's the day of light-hearted fun, and also forgiveness. On this day, we can trick our friends and just yell out "April Fools'!!!" at them. Oh my, lots of fun! Well, last but not least, good luck getting through the day and also good luck if you plan to prank someone.

Maybe Indonesians will someday grasp the concept and make their own April Fools' hoax. Possible hoaxes to make in the future:
1. The government of Indonesia really works.
2. The Coordinating Minister for Minister's Welfare is changed into CM for People's Welfare.
3. As an agrarian country, Indonesia fulfills its own food needs and becomes an exporter.
4. Indonesian Council of Ulama minds its own business.

Oh, Hillary just dropped out of the race. Click here for the news.

PS: my birthday's coming in a few days! Yay me!
