Ah, Google
Google, as we all know, has the best April Fools’ jokes. The ones we ran across:
- Tom pointed out Gmail Custom Time.
- The Google Wake Up Kit.
- And, if you try to add an event to your Google Calendar, you can now click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button, which may schedule, say, a date with Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp, or any number of dashing celebrity types.
Those are the two apps we use on a daily basis. Anyone find anything else?

Alright, now that you brought it up, I cannot believe I am going to post this here, but I am.
I heard on an NPR story, a LENGTHY clip about Osama Bin Laden having hemorrhoid surgery at Columbia Presbyterian, sometime in the early 1990’s, and how he FILMED IT, and showed it to the royal families in his country.
Now, come on! Am I supposed to believe that?? That HAD to be April Fool’s.
p.s. sorry to mention someone’s rear here! LOL
