NS could have done it better...I mean, putting "Continue on to NationStates" is a dead giveaway that it was a prank- if a Site is shut down, you wouldn't be able to "continue to it". They should have put "please submit here for questioning" instead of what they have now.

Also, looking at it again, it's "The Department of Homeland Security" (and, for the record, I'm Canadian). Man, they got sloppy. ;)

I've never tried any April Fool's jokes myself, though I've been part of one...my French teacher decided to pull a prank on my eighth grade teacher and turn all the desks around. That I enjoyed.

1 thing people: A prank or joke is ok as long as it stops at that joke or prank.
I'm really getting fed up with all the idiots who believe they are original and funny when they pull of pranks all day long.

Just my opinion, which is also that of many others. I pull of stuff everyday with different people, i dont need a special day for that. Besides almost everyone expects you to do something

That was intentional seeing as it's rather illegal to impersonate the Department of Homeland Security.

You could say that you weren't "really" trying to impersonate, since your servers are clearly in the UK and there is nothing stopping you guys from starting "your own" HomeLAND Security Dept., is there? ;)

But I guess it's probably not a good idea to even "have" to have a discussion like that, so well done! :p

at first I thought it said "Department of Homeland Security" and I almost pissed my pants. Then I looked again and I just laughed my....well...you know what I mean...had me laughing like Hank Hill....

and as for the Americans knowing about the Eagle facing the right way...that sounds like something they would ask on street smarts that nobody would know....chances are most people DON'T know that, or that they have seen the occurence but never knew it was an all-time thing. I know I didn't look at the eagle head for proof...I mean what the heck is "Homeworld Security"?

it would just take actual work to make the quote pyramids... maybe if we make the super ultimate awesome temple to the modz0rs/[violet]/Max then we can get forum 7 back.. say if we actually spent time on it, gathered up a lot of conspiracy theories / formulas, random images, cool stuff, etc for the temples...... mayeb we could get forum 7.... maybe.... or maybe not... it's always worth a try...

You know, it sounds like a cruel April Fool's joke to say "the Pope is dying", but given all that's happening to him, I would pull for that. Yeah, it sends a lot of people into a tizzy, but at least we'd all know that he's really okay and is not dying, which I think ultimately we all hope for anyway. Unfortunately, his suffering is very real. Oh well...

Hey, I don't like him much either. Not because I dislike the catholic church but because he was the pope who re-introduced the idea of his word being the word of God which the catholic church had long given up which to my mind is so wrong. I do still feel sorry for him though. It's never nice seeing people die and he's so ill they should just let the poor old bugger die.

My sympathy won't stop me attending a 'THE POPE IS DEAD' party which a friend is throwing in completly bad taste. :)

i have posted this on another thread- many of you have seen it. for the virgins:i have 5 best friends, all male. been friends with them since first grade. as adults, we all live with 2 blocks of each other, and we have an open door policy. so, it is well known to them that during my three plus showers per day, i tend to sing classic metallica, LOUD. sometimes, i switch out to some cheesy hair metal, but usually it is a fullon cliff burton tribute in my steamy shower. they thought it would be hysterical to put a little camera in the vent. and to run a mic in the medicine cabinet. i had no clue about this,until my birthday party. i was treated to my terrible voice, singing "master! master! where s the dreams that i ve been after!", and my soapy breasts on a BIG SCREEN TELEVISION in front of about 70 people. needless to say, a riot ensued.anyhow, i waited, and plotted my revenge. i knew in two months, some girls from slovakia were coming to visit some family friends, and some of the guys were interested- BIG TIME. the weekend before the company came, we were sitting around, and i got them all worried about their skin, and conned them into trying some of my chick facial mask stuff. little did they know, i had given a big jar to my homosexual neighbor who was the enforcer at a gay night club. (the little shrimp. i kid you not) he had collected some , well, face it, A LOT of "DNA " samples in a week. apparently, the bois at that club loooove giving semen samples. so, here is jeremy, steven and brandon, laying on my living room floor, faces covered in what they thought was clinique turn around mask, and steve says, "this stuff smells like shit, what the fuck is in this?" and "my skin better not smell like this after" here goes I- "hey, why dont you ask this guy about it?" and i handed him a picture of a mid to late fifties balding naked guy, penis in hand, beauty product jar in other, BIGG smile on his face. i dont know what was worse, the fact that two of them vomited on my carpet, or the fact that the third vomited on ME. hahahaha. revenge is a bitch, eh?

another infamous prank of mine involved the vivisection cat from mortuary school. after working on the dead pussy for a few days, instead of turning him in for "a respectful disposal" [yeah right, they threw them in the dumpster] i stole him. i named him sweeets, i remember. well, i put him in the freezer, and knew he would come in handy. he did , twice. once , when i met a guy that i knew was pretended to be this satanist, but was nothing but a danzig fan, if that. after a few hours {I MEAN WEEKS!} (heheh, got you though didnt i?) of dating, it was about time we started getting naked. right in the middle of relations, i was like, you know your so fucking evil, you know what would turn me on? he- "yeah, tell me, young one" me- reach hand , under bed, and pull sweets under the blanket, and put him right between us. he- "WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!!OH MY GOD ! IS THAT A DEAD CAT??? YOU SICK BITCH" and on and on, and on. it was super awesome.
