Now, I could well have fallen for that one! I managed to convince one or two in my class that the date really was Tuesday 32nd March, on account of it being a leap year, and that April would finish a day early on the 29th! We did enjoy watching the BBC's spoof on flying penguins, though.  Cheesy


 Grin First I've heard of these flying penguins, IGI. Just found them here:

for anyone else who missed them.

I saw those earlier today and my first thought was "Oh don't be daft!". Pah. T-h-e-n  it looked almost convincing despite what we all know ... Well, until the penguins reached the rain forests Grin All good fun though Cheesy

I'm sure it will have caught almost as many out as the Tonight Spaghetti Tree.

Thanks for that link, Ron. I was telling my class about it this afternoon after we had watched the flying penguins.

I must admit I'd forgotten all about the significance of today's date until this evening, when I finally remembered it - and then it was too late. Aren't you supposed to do your April Fools before midday?

This is quite a good quality copy to watch.
