It is common in Holland that the news and newspapers come up with fake stories too. They don't do it every year though. Once they had a really interesting story about some stuff that can use to
ush your teeth with. And with that stuff you only had to
ush once a month. A lot of people fell for it because they hate
ushing their teeth. I don't know if they did anything this year though. I didn't read the paper or watched the news the last few days. <i></i>

You mean fake stories just for April Fools or do they have those regularly??? Because I would think that if they did that on regular basis it could yield to lawsuits...wouldn't you think? <i></i>

>A few days ago I found out about one prank.... This radio DJ got suspended because he was planning to aid a political party in his show. After that the news came he would go to another radio station. That was a prank, and I believed it too. <i></i>

They usually come up with funny stuff. Things like the toothpaste thing. Very interesting to most people, but hard to believe. <

>I don't think they ever faked a death before... <

>And I don't do pranks at April fools. The best I could come up with is put salt on my sisters
ead... <

>And that failed, in a way... actually it didn't go according to plan. But it still was kind of a succes. Unfortunatly she got me back in a more original way... :/ <
