WHOSE FOOLING WHO?

The Armourplateus Parakeetus.
April Fools Day has come an gone for 2013, thank goodness, as people try to play pranks on their friends and the public via social networks and real life. Twitter was a twitter with ridiculous tweets as both celebs and newspapers tried to come up with a joke to amuse the public. Richard Branson tweeted that his Virgin airlines was to launch the world's first glass bottomed plane. Whilst a local magazine reported that the SAA inaugeral flight was about to take off from OR Tambo Airport. Another local newspaper reported that Julius Malema had joined the Democratic Alliance, and Twitter was going to start charging for the use of vowells in tweets. The hospitality industry also got in on the act by announcing that they were introducing a R100 cover charge as they were not making enough money. To be honest I had a one up my sleeve too. I took a photo of my ornamental bird in the garden and it actually looks like some extinc prehistoric bird nesting in my garden. Well I wonder who after yesterday was the fool?
