Classic April Fools’ Day Joke:
“Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity”
April 1, 1976: During an early-morning interview on BBC
Radio 2, the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced that at
9:47 AM that day a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was
going to occur.
Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, and this planetary alignment
would temporarily counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity.
Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the
exact moment the alignment occurred, they would experience a
strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, the station
began receiving hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming
to have felt the sensation. One woman reported that she and her
friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.
Moore had intended his announcement to be a spoof of a
pseudoscientific theory that had recently been promoted in a
book called The Jupiter Effect, alleging that a rare alignment of
the planets was going to cause massive earthquakes and the
destruction of Los Angeles in 1982.

“The Secret Door”
“It won’t open into a dark nook
at Hogwarts, but it can take
you to equally unexpected
places around the world. The
idea is simple — opens the
secret door and let Google’s
Street View transport you to
an interesting place on the
globe.
Think of it as a portal for
virtual globetrotting. And if you
don’t like it, just click the Take
Me Somewhere Else button.
It definitely ranks as one of the
more fun ways to use Google
Maps and Street View.
