Sigh.. Today’s April 1st (in Australia that is), and I have no tricks up and I’m bloody tired. I think I’ve used up all my juices these few days. So, here’s a picture of George Lucas eating (or rather, waiting for ramen):

And then, now’s the part where you go: hang on, Chewxy, you’re in Australia, and George Lucas is in Marin County, USA.

Well, nope, you’re wrong twice. George Lucas was in LA yesterday and today. And I took this photo in a shop called Edamame early today - wha… yep. I’m in California. (and my parental units are going to be so mad, plus I’m going to have to beg them for more moolah - and now you know why I wasn’t online most of yesterday… I was travelling)

Now, on to my thoughts on April 1st. I originally had planned for a big hoax video to be put up online virally… unfortunately, I have had other work commitments, and as such, wasn’t able to do anything (also, damn you Jason for not at least filming some footage).

Fortunately though, we have big companies like Google’s G’day Mate and Sun’s April Fools Pranks to make us laugh out loud with. So.. nothing from me this year. But one day, when I own my own company, I’ll make it a point to have plenty of April’s Fools gags everywhere.

Anyways, Edmund and Liss (my housemate) are going off to Japan to further their studies, so nothing to prank about anyways. So.. I’ll go about celebrating my birthday on my own time.. ah well.

One thing’s certain about today, though… the ghost and the UFO in the Earth Hour pictures were digitally added in. And that’s as far as the joke goes.

And now, here’s Chewxy’s list of best April fools hoaxes (or fun stuffs):

• Project Virgle - most inspiring
• Betamax to HD-DVD Converter - most extinct
• Brain Breakthrough! It’s Made of Neurons! - most Onion
• Google DreamAds - most bewildering
• Flying Penguins - most awesome
• Aurebash Wookieepedia - most geeky
• Why I Don’t Like Bayesian Statistics - most nerdy
• xkcd redirections - most funny
• OpenGoogle - most probably not an April Fools Day joke
