This is because NTs always know when they receive information that that might be a lie or might be having another meaning. This ability form my first rule of Theory of Mind which I have developed. This is why I caught league_girl prank on facebook as soon as she mentioned that she will be pulling one. I will post rules of Theory of Mind later this year as I have to give lots of examples from my own life to explain the rules with context.

Thanks. When ever I see your name it looks like wavefunction that I saw in quantum chemistry course which I took but did not learn much as I am an autodidact and take longer to learn.

Other people here seem to be taking pranks well. Besides I think you should feel relieved and happy because it wasn't real so you'd think "thank goodness" because it's not actually happening.


I'm late on the uptake here (I've been in Romania), but I had the same reaction, to take it seriously....BUT I was relieved when I saw it wasn't real :)

Happy April Fool's day, a bit late.

For once, I actually agree with you. :D

April fools joke are supposed to be about getting people to believe daft things, like the flying penguins or spaghetti trees, not delivering awful news and then mocking people for believing it.

I didn't mock anyone. And everyone knows penguins can't fly or there isn't such thing as spaghetti trees so who would fall for that? Only a child of course.

That's the whole point. When it's done well, and the penguins were done very well, people do believe them. The BBC ran a trailer for a documentary on this previously unreported species. You can watch it here:

(Sorry I don't know how to get it to show in my post)

Here's the spaghetti trees, another BBC one (bear in mind spaghetti was a strange exotic foreign food at the time);

I fell hook, line and sinker for an April Fool in a national newspaper a few years ago. Their article claimed that Tony Blair had had the door of Downing Street repainted from it's 100s of years old traditional black to the colour of the labour party, red. Flouting all sorts of planning and conservation laws. They even had pictures of it being done. I was completely outraged and was fuming about it. It was only later when they were laughing about it in Parliament that I realised I'd been had. :oops:

Some people will become offended sometimes. Don't worry about it.

Can't believe some people are still complaining about this thread, they really need to get off their high horses.
