I don’t know if it is a joke but if it is not, it should be…www.velonews.com has a story about the UCI banning sunglasses.

Not Tri-related, but my wife and I waited until our two girls were asleep and then moved them into the other’s bed.
Yeah, it was real funny until the youngest woke me up at 4 am to ask why she was in her sister’s bed. What a riot.
Not tri related, but the one where Car and Driver reported that Obama ordered Dodge and Chevy out of NASCAR was pretty funny. Most NASCAR fans don’t exactly have Obama stickers next to their Dale Jr. license plates, so I could imagine the furor over this one.
That’s damn funny…things aren’t so funny when you get woken up.

I took the skewer out of my buddies front wheel when he stopped to pee on our ride today…he only scrapped his knees and face.
I e-mailed my coach and told her I wasn’t going to be able to do IMC anymore because of financial reasons. She bought it. Still waiting for her reply e-mail after I told her she got April Fooled. Pretty sure she’s gonna fire me.
I thought this one was quite funny (Dead Pixel pandemic in monitors)

A for effort on actually creating the test page the way they did (originally this was only page 1, I see they added page 2 later during the day)
.
In Brazil, Rio de Janeiro there is an open water swim, crossing Copacabana from one side to the other, that is called *“The fortress swim” *(direct translation) or "The strongs swim" something like it.
So today they are saying that Mark Allen is enrolled in preparation for the Brazilian Ironman. On the site for the swim he is really there but not in the Brazilian IM.
Funny thing is that several local news agency are cascading the news.
I like the Google TISP one today…
I walked into class today and told my students to put their books and notebooks under their tables and take out a pen - pop quiz.
You have never seen blood run out of faces so quickly.

I’ve got that beat (although it was 4-5 years ago).
I showed up to class early, and gave out fake papers to the first 5-6 students (out of 20 maybe?) who showed up. Told them to put them in their backpacks. When class started, I began talking about the reading, then said ‘oh, jeez, almost forgot - turn in your essays.’ The kids w/the fake essays opened up their backpacks, took out the ‘papers,’ and handed them to me. Lots of sounds of paper ruffling, and general panic in the room. asked a couple questions to those in on the joke about the assignment… then told the rest of the students, ‘april fools.’
I’ve been in that trick’s shadow ever since, when 4/1 rolls around.
these are college kids, btw, don’t know if i’d have it in me to do this to high schoolers.

someone told me they were preggers!
I went to the YMCA for my luchtime workout and there was a small handwritten sign at the front desk, “No Hot Water Today.” Of course I frowned and hesitated and cringed at the thought of a cold post-workout shower, and began to wonder how my coworkers would react if I returned to the office after a sweaty workout and no shower.
The two front desk guys were pretty quick to remind me of the date and let me off the hook. They had been having fun with this one all morning and said that very few people had caught on before they told them.

i changed my facebook status @ 1am to “is going to be a daddy” and put a google image of an ultrasound fetus as my profile pic. only 5/50 people who commented realized it’s a joke.
then my g/f’s brother sent a screen cap of my profile to her whole family asking wtf was going on…and multiple people called my mother wondering what was going on as well - neither were too impressed. i enjoyed a laugh though
Somewhat tri-related.
Two years ago, my dad bought a Volvo convertible from Ebay. He has always, always, always wanted a convertible - and that car is his baby.
He emailed today and said “trading in your car. found another convertible on ebay, it can spend half the summer with you and Ian can have it for the other half.”
I emailed back and said “I don’t want a convertible, my bike won’t fit in the back.”
Then I realized it was probably an April fools joke. Sure enough I got April Fooled.

The dog tri fit article here on ST!
The whole office was looking at me while I roared with laughter while reading it. The John Cobb quote was fantastic!
No one has mentioned the one on Bontrager’s homepage.
Yes it was. That was another thread
