Oh How (Some of Us) Laughed

 

In case you missed it yesterday, here was yesterday’s April Fool’s.

Gospel According To Rhys from Wikipedia

I’m rather proud of it. Simple. Effective. Confused some people. When people realised that it was fake they said. Oh, that is good.

But the best thing was that it was controversial. Last year I got the ire of the BBC for keeping my April Fools up. This year I pissed off Rhyl for picking on them. It’s an April Fools Gag guys! Lighten up!

One thing I was a bit annoyed with was that how quick Technorati picked up on the change of my blog name, thinking my blog was called “Rhys Wynne – Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia”.

Seriously, it was bloody quick.

All in all, I’m happy, why? Because I sneaked in some information into the April fool, to be used on a post!

Right, on my Wikipedia article, there are 10 facts under Trivia. Some are true, some are false. Guess which is which?

As I said, blogging will be a bit of a chore today, it’s my mum’s 21st (plus 10957 days) birthday. We’re going to the Rhos Fynach for lunch, so that’ll be nice. I did kinda screw up with the present though. I wrapped it (in a way that only a man can) and put it in the corner. Bonnie was sniffing around the presents, and I said to my mum “don’t move the chocolates!”.

Least she can’t figure out the bottle shaped present I got her!

    I was confused. I’m still confused. Why would you do such a cruel thing?! Haha

    Oh you rank is probably 10957 more than mine. Happy 21st + 10957 days to your Mum. I love that you spell it ‘mum’ too. Every goddamn blog is ‘mom’. I know you’re close to England… But it still puts a smile on my dial. Haha.. Hm is the England bit even relevant?

  2. Paddy says:

    Oh I just realised.. you rank is like 10957 (squared) more than mine.

    Holy crap dude… I just got back to the internet world and wow tat is a hell of a lot of effort for an April Fools joke…. it’s amazing.

    The best I could muster up was telling my parents me and gf were pregnant hehe

    Ryan! That’s terrible! I forgot all about April Fools – I was too busy telling someone that I thought they were clinically insane and buh bye.

  6. Han says:

    hehe I guessed there’d be an april fools afoot when you kept going on about your amazing thing for the weekend!

    Yes, men and present wrapping…:S

  7. Ooh, that was damned good.

    And yes, Technorati are almost too fast in changing updated blog names, but thankfully also very fast in changing them back again.

    2: You’re not lactose intolerant
    3: I think Blanka is, but I also think you liked the girl in the blue dress too

    6: Never smoked
    7: You may well donate blood, but I don’t really know
    8: You’re not much of a Radiohead fan, and your favourite song is more likely to be by Savage Garden, Avril Lavigne or Evanescense
    9: I’d like to think you’re a member of CAMRA because that’d be awesome :-) I keep meaning to join myself
    10: Web in 97 sounds about right, internet club anyone? Wasn’t it on an acorn though, not a commodore?
