I that the website was hilarious. The first 2 were my favorite, with the people who grew spaghetti and the baseball player who could pitch 168 miles per hour.
ReplyDelete#4 Taco Liberty Bell
ReplyDeleteIf someone told me this without knowing it was a hoax i would probably believe it. It seems to be a good April Fool's joke, that im sure many people would also believe. It also seems reasonable to happen even though you would know and think that it never would happen.
Sidd Finch was a friegn baseball player that the New York mets were suppose to get. All the Met fan getting all excited for this player no one really met. Unless you live inside the mind of George Plimpton you'll never meet this all star player. Out of many jokes to pull doing it to a huge New york team is not the best place to do so.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite trick was the swiss spaghetti harvest. I just find it hilarious that people would believe you can grow a spaghetti tree. Seriously people, use your brain.
ReplyDeletei think the one about the whopper was a funny one. if people went up and ordered a left handed whopper and right handed people asked for right handed whoppers i would love it and laugh hard
ReplyDeletemy fav. hoax has to be the one of nixon running for pres. again in the 1990's....the fact that people actuly belived this has to be one of the most stupied things ive seen
ReplyDeleteThe spaghetti harvest was definately my favorite because it was well reinforced, but at the same time it was pretty ridiculous and I have no idea how people could possibly believe such a thing. For those people that did believe, I pity them for they lack great knowledge and sense.
ReplyDeleteI think that the left handed whopper was my favorite because i just dont understand how many people are dumb enough to fall for it.
