You can’t fool me! Or can you…?
Many trade and advertising companies joined each other in the April pranks to fool the nation for the 1st. iPhone warned consumers of an “iLax[ative] virus” that caused all its applications to simply drop off the devices; Gillette announced a body odour neutralising shirt; Lexmark unveiled, or rather hid, their first invisible ink for printers; and The Sun said they were to start print with flavoured lickable paper! Jokes they may be, but would they all be so cool if they were real!?

Eggs-traordinary
A pair of teenagers out on a treasure hunt with their younger siblings got a lot more than they bargained for whilst out on an Easter egg hunt. The teenagers, separated from the younger pair, stumbled across a dead bosy on their hunt for something altogether more stomachable and less sinister. Seems more like Friday the 13th to us...

Spring Chick
Ma Xiuxian is 102. She is also attending school for the first time and takes front row in class at her new primary school. Having always wanted to pursue an education, her dream now comes true after starting work at 13 and being married at 18 with nine children following. Way to go Nanny!

Eggs fly before they hatch
Confectionery was tossed everywhere when Walmart witnessed an outbreak of what perhaps can only be described as hormone madness. Seven women got into a fight over the sweet stuff during the Easter break racking up a bill of almost $800! What is it they say: sugar and spice and all things nice? Nah! Didn’t mummy ever teach you not to play with food!

Bring it on!
The chocolate gods at Ben & Jerry have created a new flavour of ice-cream – ‘Flourless Chocolate Cake’. And that can only mean one thing: it is chocolate at its thickest and richest, more chocolate and less everything else! Hurrah! But alas our dreams are shattered as it is announced as a limited edition flavour, only sold at Walmart Supercentres across the US. Somebody get us international delivery on the phone! Now!

Mars Attacks
Maybe it was the overdose in sugar that crazed a 17-year-old boy to attack an innocent woman dressed as an Easter bunny in Fishkill, New York. The poor woman only incurred minor injuries for her efforts to delight the kids with her costume, and is now recovering at home. The police are still on the hunt for the egghead who upset her. Shame on him.
