I thought that since it’s now April Fools, we could all make up the best stories we can![:D]
Here’s my story.[:D]
A little while ago, I was sitting at a railroad crossing, waiting for some trains to come by so I could take pictures. When I heard a train coming, it didn’t sound like anything I’d heard before. The train came by, with a strange engine pulling it. I got a picture of the engine, and it looks like a cross between an SD70 and an E unit. I found out later that it was a new nuclear fussion powered NF-12,000-66. The “NF” stands for “Nuclear Fussion,” the 12,000 stands for “12,000 horsepower,” and the “66” stands for “2 trucks, each with 6 wheels.” All the tests went well, and they were hoping to be able to start mass production of them by 2008. The project was canceled 2 weeks later, when the engine crashed do to bearing problems, causing the trucks to lift off the wheels and derail the engine. There was a slight nuclear leak, and it took 3 days to clean it up. A few people were affected, causing them to develope “super powers.” Too scared to show themselves in public, they went into hiding. They now live at a place called “Xaviers School for the Gifted,” started by Charles Xavier. Everyone now calls them “X-Men.”[:D][:D][:D]
Hope everyone has fun writing April Fools stories![:D]
on a related note; This goes as more evidence that God and Santa Claus are the same person. Put a red hat on Him and He’s Santa or Tim Allen with a beard… think about that one!

I came across a statue at a train show, and I thought it would be an interesting thing to build a small urban park around:
I did some research, and discovered his name was John Buford Brad, who enlisted in the Union Quartermaster Corps at the start of the Civil War. He wasn’t particularly patriotic or brave, but he planned instead to enrich his fortunes by having the Army buy large quantities of haggis from his family’s company in Moose Bay. When the haggis reached the hungry Union soldiers on the front, they immediately took pity on their Southern brothers, and send the entire shipment across the lines under a flag of truce. The starving Rebels sent it back.
When the Quartermaster General heard of this, he summoned Sargeant Brad to Washington, where he was publically court-marshalled and stripped of his uniform. At that point, a gasp went up from the crowd, as Brad was wearing long red underwear knit by his step-sisters, Anastasia and Drizella. The wool, of course, was a by-product of the haggis business. The supply officers immediately realized that Brad had the exact product they were looking for - something to keep the troops warm. Alternately known as “long Johns” or the “Union Suit,” these designs survive to this day.
The court-marshall was quickly changed to a commissioning ceremony, and the newly-minted Colonel Brad became a hero in the town of Moose Bay. The underwear was dubbed a “strategic industry” and thus the young men of Moose Bay, who all ended up working for the business, were exempted from the draft. Brad’s stepmother and stepsisters became rich women. In particular, the wealth was spread around town through the Bundy Shoe Company, who catered to the needs of these large-footed females.
Unfortunately, Brad never saw the fruits of his labors. After the war, he returned home to find that his stepmother and stepsisters had absconded with the family fortune, sailed to E
Sorry, but an FBI agent saw my story and immediatly told me to destroy it. They wanted to keep this whole thing a secret, apparently. So I burned the picture to keep them from sending me to jail.[:D]
