Remember Aprils Fool tommorow

So no

Asteroid hitting Earth
Aliens landing or SETI detects alien life
Mars as big as the moon
Plant life found on the moon

Trevor,

adjustments done hundreds of years ago by Pope Gregory XIII in
1582 , Good Friday next year falls on a Thursday?

I woke up around 2am this morning and all the cloud had gone and all the lights in the entire district had gone out. It may have had something to do with the unlighter I got from Dumbledore and incredibly the planet mars was as big as no not the moon but was so big I could see the polar cap with naked eye. And then all the satelites decided to pose for me and do a little dance around the planets. I got great video's to show when I download them to my computer.

702ABC's April Fool joke was that Beck's was to act as an advisor to the Socceroos at the World Cup, because with his injury he could not play.

Apparently they got the SMH in on the joke, but I haven't seen a hard copy and can't find it on their web site.

An on-air suggestion was that Posh was going to be a media advisor to their WAGs.
