April Fools...need funny news events!

Angela, 3/20/2006, 4:37:06 PM

Hey guys! I have to do a brief article about five events that occurred at our school, only since it's the April Fool's edition of our newspaper, they all have to be fake! Does anyone have any good ideas for what would make really funny stories? I only need to mention each "incident" in about one to two sentences.

Thanks so much! My article is due tomorrow so I would sincerely appreciate any help!

I'm in the same boat, only our paper comes out a week after April 1. Is that too late? Some people say it wouldn't be funny, and others say that a lot of papers do it as long as it's in the month of April. Which is it?

That's like coming out with a Christmas special during the first week of January :P We come out the week of April 1.
