Did April fool you too?

I love April fools day jokes. More than that, I love to fall for them myself. The fact that someone comes up with such a great idea that is at the same time absolutely ridiculous but you still think that it is true, or at least could totally be. Every year the local newspapers and online magazines have this tradition of coming up with an article and the readers' "job" is to find that one April fools article in the middle of the very true ones. Its so funny to see people first commenting ragingly even though the whole article would be over the top and so not believable. And as when one person remembers which day it is again, the sound on the comments changes 180°. 
While strolling across the internet, you bump into one insane article after another, not just on April first but on an everyday basis. To really filter out those badly written, scandalous new from the actual worthy ones has become quite a skill. 
I actually quite liked this one from Aamulehti
In this one the pic was the funniest
On the other hand, I think it is absolutely pointless to every year keep posting on Facebook or Instagram or whatever right on April first that you are pregnant or oh, suddenly there is this huge ring on your finger and yesterday you were single as one can be.

And yes, I am still a vegetarian.
