thanks, Louis! I saw the post, but thought it was for real! Didn't read after the image to see the April Fool's words.
Thanks for including my post. This is a fun list and I love the compilations because I find new blogs to check out.
I re-wrote an article I did for our local genealogical society's column in the local newspaper. The story dealt with an April Fools prank by a 2x great grandmother on her neighbor back in 1861. The prank resulted in a civil court case. You can see it at: http://lijability.livejournal.com/73690.html
