Great Pranksters of The Day

The NY Times analyzes April Fool's Day pranks:
“You want to play on people’s weaknesses or dislikes, but not go too hard,” said Tommy Doran, a fireman and paramedic in Skokie, Ill., who as a rookie in Montgomery County, Md., was lured into the station’s kitchen and blasted with multiple cream pies. “For me it’s just the sort of dark humor we use to cope with the job and each other. Nothing dangerous or illegal.”
(How did they get this quote--a fireman from Skokie?) They end with this thought:"But a good prank is, in the end, a simulation of a crisis and not the real thing." Who knew Al Gore was such a prankster?

April Fool.
