If you don’t know what day it is… well, it’s Sunday. A day of rest. A day to relax, and how better to relax but with a good laugh?

Alpha called this morning to tell me — very excitedly — that Google is offering a free wireless internet beta. Just go go the Google homepage, and click the link.

The alarm went off at 7 this morning, as I wanted to go to the 8:00 service so that I could pick Gamma up (returning from the Orchestra trip to Orlando) a little after 9. So I got up, showered, dressed, and got Delta ready to go, but driving down the turnpike, it seemed too dark. So I looked down at the clock in my car, which read 6:40. My watch said the same.

Hubby’s little prank was to set my clock back an hour, then set the alarm for me (as I rarely set the alarm at all, unless I have a plane to catch). He still claims he didn’t do it intentionally, but RealtorChick’s clock was also set back an hour… so it seems a little suspicious that HWTFM and PunkHP did a little scheming last night at Daco’s place, while we were otherwise occupied.

I also happened across a great shopping site — another of those merchants we’re unlikely to ever see in Oak Ridge — and purchased a new swim cover-up. So, this is the shirt I’ll be modestly covering up in until I can lose the 15 pounds I’ve acquired since quitting smoking. I had one sort of similar when I was pregnant, but I think it got given away with the maternity clothes.
Go ahead and laugh, but HWTFM loves it.

And, the Museum of Hoaxes has a great “Top 100 April Fools Day” list. My favorite:

#7: Alabama Changes the Value of Pi

The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the ‘Biblical value’ of 3.0. Before long the article had made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly made its way around the world, forwarded by people in their email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by a physicist named Mark Boslough.

Have fun!
