i like jokes like these but are more toward the more gullible group. kinda like this (taken from the hotlink thread): because you and i know its not a real thing, but someone, somewhere, is looking for where to buy it
It just needs grub screws on the cam lobes to lock them in to place.
Ok, i know its a joke. But i look at that, think about it, and i wonder if a bit of square stock would keep the lobes in place....
But that would lock the lobes into a specific angle. You want to be able to customize the separation angle.
so really the rod needs to be a piece of all-thread and then tap the holes in the lobe so the angle is adjustable, then put a jam nut on each lobe to keep it form moving

Ooo, that's good. Especially because all-thread is so much more ghetto than a nice steel rod.

Someone brought in a box of Dunkin' Donuts today and left it in the breakroom. Inside were shallow cups of veggies and a cup of dip, so it really looked like a dozen donuts until you opened the lid. It was awesome.

Local radio station was re-capping their best pranks. Apparently, a few years ago, they announced a programming change and started playing big band music for about 10 minutes.

I didnt do anything.

A friend of mine took pictures and posted a for sale ad for his coworkers 2014 Ram truck (that he recently purchased) and posted his phone number (the owner). Hablamos Espanol.

I hear his phone has been ringing off the hook today. Haha.

I haven't done many Aprils Fools pranks. They are much better when people aren't expecting them. Like when everyone sets their clocks back move all your father in law's forward 2 hours so he gets up and opens the church a few hours early. They've changed their locks a couple times now.

My favorite 4/1 product for this year is from APR:

link

Operation is simple:

  • Clutch 1 = Gears 1, 3 & 5.
  • Clutch 2 = Gears 2, 4 & 6.
  • Press and hold the appropriate clutch for the current gear.
  • Move the gear selector to neutral.
  • Release the clutch.
  • Press and hold the appropriate clutch for the next gear.
  • Move the gear selector back to manual mode, and use it, or the paddles, to find the appropriate gear.
  • Slowly release the clutch to complete the shift!

I did the fruit inside the donut box to my 13 year old daughter. It was great.

Last year I short sheeted her bed - that was funny as she had no idea about the concept.

I like to do things that are just silly. A couple years I was working at a company that had an online directory of all employees with pictures. The default was your security badge photo, but you could upload a different picture if you wanted. My whole team changed our photos to cartoons for April 1st.

Ooh, they should do a 3/4 cam version.

For a bit I thought the Antonin Scolia School of Law was a prank.

No, the ASS OL is real.

One of the guys at work had stacks put on his F250 and was unhappy that his mechanic wouldn't tune it to roll coal. Yesterday someone dumped a bunch of flour down his stacks so when he left he was "Rollin' Dough" leaving the building.

I'd attach a couple of those inflatable crazy waving arm things on those useless stacks.

Also, thank the mechanic for not contributing to rolling coal.
