No, Really / Unshackled | BrokenLogic Comments on "No, Really / Unshackled" http://typo.graphr.net/no-really/ en-us Sun, 08 Apr 2007 02:01:33 -0800 bigi on "No, Really / Unshackled" Interestingly, I was not in the know and also not fooled by your meta-joke — I took it seriously and never had a second thought that you were joking. But then I also have a history of being fooled by people’s April Fools jokes every year, mostly because I am a person who largely neglect dates to begin with (I never remember anyone’s birthdays — or rather, I remember them but I don’t realize it when the dates come around). I also fell for Kass’ weblog April Fools joke last year. In fact when I read your entry from 4/1 I didn’t even realize it was 4/1 and automatically took it for real.

And in addition to all that, I am a person who is easily convinced, believes in anything I see/hear easily, and just gullible in general. :P

Pssh. ::chuckle::

Still, in the back of my mind I was hoping against hope that it was a very elaborate hoax/prank by Alex. Sadly, not the case.
