Thank the Lord Jesus Messieh and CHrist you weren’t born on April 2 “Taily Day”. You might have to pay dearly for the “infraction” with a posterior “infarction”.

Actually you are quite better off born on April 1, because at least you can say, for you, quite accurately and Pope Gregory the Great most inaccurately “Happy New Year”!

You by chance have been found more infallible than the epitome of infallibility.

Grr… Haha. I fell for it, but I kept wondering why I couldn’t find it on Haarets. I like to “check” the firsthand sources, not relying so much on secondhand ones, but I posted about it and found out this morning you pulled a fast one on us! Needless to say I deleted my post.

You are a VERY naughty boy, Tyler!

But I wonder what would the maximalists would have said about a Jerusalem seal which had Dave as king of Judah, not Israel?

I always thought it would be fun to give students an exam on April Fool’s day just to watch them panic about which questions might be “trick” questions.

Hey everyone… I hope you all figured out that this post was an April Fool’s Day hoax! One benefit of being born on April Fool’s day is that you are always aware when the day is approaching! Over the years I have pulled a number of good tricks. Stay tuned for the real bulla in a coming post. (If I did fool anyone, I hope you still like me! )
