April Fool's Day?

**Rik** · 01 April 2015, 07:11 PM

Is this something, that's dying, or do people still do something?

Either no-one was doing anything, or the timings were such, that I missed it all.

So, does anyone really care about April Fool's Day any more?

No idea Rik.
Perhaps it's the great news here; http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...products-today! that's stopped the urge for jests?

Can't say I do it much but it is still fun. My son had a neat idea for the scribble as an April fool's joke. He said just put a dot for a line.

you can do a lot with a dot larry if you make a scatter brush - maybe xara not best app for that though

True, but submitting a dot as a line makes it hard to find an end to latch onto doesn't it.

yes technically you can't do that

still zero is a quantity mathematically and no-action is something you can do.... and zen is maybe somehow appropriate for an april fool's thread

not fond of practical jokes myself Rik - jokes yes, humour is essential to life... but I'm not fond of the intrusive stuff eg: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31972380

I like Rémi Gaillard however, I am not keen on things that make people afraid. Apart from being potentially dangerous if people feel threatened, I think pranks can be a lot of fun.

Rémi Gaillard is the master, but some of his pranks do go a little bit too far. Surprise people - OK. Make them feel in real danger? No.

Thanks for the link handrawn.

I hope not.

This thread got me thinking so I pulled an April Fools prank in challenges.

I think it depends upon what you do. And quite often, who you do it to.

For example, my wife doesn't like having tricks played on her. Therefore, she doesn't play tricks on anyone else.

Whereas, I think you can play tricks and have a bit of fun.
But, not if it's going to embarrass or hurt anyone.

So, this kind of thing is quite personal. In my opinion.
