April 1, as most know, is April Fool's Day.
My college newspaper used to love posting a fake newspaper on that day. IN the 80's they printed that World War III had started.
I am going to post stories in some forums on the Internet on this day.
They will be believable and detailed and well-written. And totally absurd. Yet I know most people will believe them. I am open to suggestions.
Here are the ideas I have so far:

Here are the ideas I have so far:
- Joseph Smith's book of gold of the Mormon religion is real and was rediscovered in New England and is kept in Area 51 where scientists have struggled to debunk it. It is kept there secretly because knowledge of it would topple other Christian faiths. Here is where it gets good. I reveal this to a group of Mormon families visiting Comdex and they get in their minivans and trespass on the base and are arrested and never heard from again.
- Here is another one. ATF and the FBI have saved the bodies from the Waco siege and are not willing to give up David Koresh's remains because they have found his DNA is pure without any junk sequences.
- I have to come up with a good one about the Apollo Hoax. I still like the idea that I am an engineer hiding in Brazil with first hand proof that it was a hoax and I get Sibel all excited that I will do an interview. Maybe I will contact him on April First with a nice detailed letter and see if he makes it public. The only clue it is fake is that I am posting this here and I send it out on April First.
- Dolphins and Sting Rays are controlled by the CIA and Steve Irwin was killed to keep him silent his knowledge about the real fate of The Sky Lab that he discovered in the Out Back.
- The Klingons or some absurd fictitious thing was behind 911 and I dig up as many things to support the notion as possible just to mock the 911 conspiracy theorists.
- Sibel's real name is Subreal.
- The United States Air Force is decades ahead in technology than NASA. Shortly after World War II they secretly started a program where they launched huge payloads secretly into a solar orbit from the South Pacific. Later they found a way to hide all this mass of raw materials from humanity by keeping it in a clumsy orbit between the earth and the sun. They used all this stuff to secretly build and launch a star ship.
- Neanderthals were smarter than us. Hundreds of thousands of years ago there were advanced cities made of glass, steel and florgnorg in Europe occupied by a population of highly intellectual Neanderthals. This was in an age where our ancestors were more like chimpanzees and lived in a small valley in Africa. One day there was a back-to nature movement because the Neanderthals saw how their high-tech society might start hurting the environment. But there was a separate sect that decided they should and could advance to the stars. The Neanderthals that stayed behind came across prehistoric humans who out populated the Neanderthals and so they lost the competition for food. And this is why we have not gotten any SETI signals. The space bound Neanderthals hold a grudge for wiping out their cousins and have been jamming transmission from extra terrestrials.
- Madonna is upset that NBC had decided to edit a broadcast of a concert where she performs a mock beheading scene.
