3. Can’t believe they fell for that. Even if they weren’t suspicious from the word ‘go’, you’d think they’d have caught on as things developed…

20. I wonder how long it took to set that up? I’ve never even heard of half those people.

    Very well done.

21. Bravo… With everyone on the lookout for pranks, one would only let one’s guard down on a prank about a prank!

    Hooray for metahumor! Does this qualify as metahumor?

24. Dang it! I didn’t get to fall for the joke! I started reading the comments on the first link which gave it away. I would have enjoyed such a sublime prank.

27. I didn’t do the link/post/thread [oh ... that's new/s (but Aaron did get me on his April tomfoolery)]. None the less, had a guilty pang … yesterday afternoon. For simply not saying hello to SDB, in thread. Feeling like I had somehow been rude. So … Hello SDB.

28. I wonder how long it took to set that up?

    Oh, about 10-15 minutes of so. Maybe a tad longer. Just a tad. Or two. But don’t ask us to time a tad.
