April Fools news reports
« on: April 01, 2011, 10:22:19 AM »
There doesn't seem to be very many April Fools Day news reports out there right now, but I did find this one about police dogs being trained to sniff out motorcycles with loud pipes   :D  :

Making April fools is always a hilarious experience. (If it doesn't last in hurting someone)

But getting fooled is just the opposite.

Surprised that no one commented on this one:

Brammo's new top speed - 500mph

Come on, folks.  Notice the artistry of the logo on the tail!

I think I heard recently that Honda is about ready to test fly their new corporate jet that they designed and built themselves for the jet-set commercial market.

That's not an April Fool's joke. It flew first this last december, and has been tested recently at its max speed (489 mph).
