I was so sure that it was an April Fools Day joke that I emailed them to laugh about it.<br /><br />It wasn't a joke. I was sad. Very, very sad.Aidan Moherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680602160285884082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-39519620749741879892011-04-01T13:56:44.585+01:002011-04-01T13:56:44.585+01:00Well this wasn't so much a prank played on me,...Well this wasn't so much a prank played on me, as a prank people thought we played on them, but when I called people last year to tell them Emma was born, they didn't believe me at first. <br /><br />The best prank I ever fell for was one by the Jeugdjournaal (the Dutch version of Newsround), when in 1993 they announced on their evening news that the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities had reanimated the heart of a mummy. I thought that was just the coolest thing (I was also 13 at the time) and only realised later that that wouldn't be possible in any way, shape or form.Mieneke van der Salmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782771945227479913noreply@blogger.com
