If you're internet savvy (or if you're not and getting there), you know already that not everything you read online is valid. You need to check sources, hoaxes, and any other reason to tear silliness to ribbons.
Get your internet game face on.
Today is April Fool's Day.
While you should always check backgrounds and sources, April 1 is notorious for being a source of bedlam for the internet world: anyone who has a computer can post anything on the internet. And while most of these April Fool's bits of humor are not remotely malicious, they will make you look like a fool if you read something and say OMG! I have to pass this on to everyone I know!
Credible sources - including Google - have been party to such tomfoolery.
The lesson on April 1 is: Do your research and wait until tomorrow. Then, if still credible, do your email forwarding then.
Save the servers! No April 1st email forwards!
