The DeLorean corporation is giving away free flux capacitors. From what I could tell, it’s universal and will work equally well on any vehicle. Just go to their website and search for part number 18851985, then click on “Add items and Proceed to Checkout”. Once there, you’ll be offered a free cap with purchase, but you don’t have to purchase anything to get the free flux capacitor.

But I decided to watch “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” again.

My family would probably say that I watch it too much. But I don’t think I’ve watched it at all this month, and hardly a few times in February. I think my favorite character on the dvd is Jacob, at least for this month. Actually, I think Jacob was a pretty interesting character that probably wasn’t a very nice person. If you read about his life story, he’s probably the person that created the concept of “baby daddy” drama. Not that he denied his children, but he sure seemed to pit their mothers against each other.

Meanwhile, here’s a short excerpt from a performance of “Joseph” that I found on YouTube:

I just saw this neat looking pan, and at first I thought it was kind of silly. But then I realized that everyone likes the edge, so if you cook a lot of brownies, why not use this? I don’t know how easy it would be to remove the brownie, and I don’t know if the pan would be easy to clean.

Come to think of it, it would be a lot of fun to frost a cake made in that shape. It kind of looks like the letter M, so it could really come in handy if you know someone named Mary or Mandy.

Well, let me clarify that. I like practical jokes as long as no one gets hurt, or no one feels they’ve been victimized by a mean spirited prank.

One of the local weeklies has created some classic pranks. In 1999, they ran a story about the Arm the Homeless Coalition on its front page as an April 1 gag. It was so convincing that numerous radio stations, the Associated Press and even 60 Minutes II fell for the gag.

In a prior year, the same paper announced that a scientist had finally figured out the approximate location of the Lost Dutchman’s gold. According to the scientist, the gold was buried under the entrance of the largest store at the upscale Biltmore Fashion Park. The article then said that the owners of the mall had agreed to allow any treasure hunters to dig up the floor of the mall in exchange for a share of the found gold.
Amazingly, a large crowd showed up at the mall’s main entrance bright and early the next day, most carrying shovels and picks.

Wow, there’s so much more I could say on this subject, but I see that it’s now official April 1 here, so that means I’ve got a few things to do before everyone wakes up in the morning.
