Or at least, April Fool (meaning; me). This is what I do when I have a spare 20 minutes on my hand. I make myself with a stuffed animal rabbit head for no apparent reason (though, I did watch The Science Of Sleep last night, which somewhat alters your perceptions). Not all that creative, at least in my mind, but I wanted to at least attempt something today (and my Sundays are quite full, so --- I do what I can). So, have a great April Fools day; question EVERYTHING you hear ;-)
Found in the Nuremberg Altstadt, the "Ship of Fools" statue is based on Sebastian Brant's 1494 best selling book "Das Narrenschiff". It seems that 500 years ago, authors were already predicting that increasing violence and progressive technology would lead to the demise of civilization - makes me wonder what Brant would think if he was around today.
The statue depicts society's first fall with Adam and Eve and their son Cain and introduces pain, suffering and death experienced in life. Written on the back of the statue, "Gewalt und Technik und Resignation zerstören das Leben. Der Tod lacht Hohn." "Violence and technology and resignation destroy life. Death laughs mockingly."
Although Brant was born in Strasbourg, Nuremberg's most famous artist - Albrecht Durer - created the woodcut scenes that accompanied the satirical writings of Brant's "Narrenschiff" - which explains how the statue came to rest in Nuremberg.
Time your travels right and you can walk from the statue to the Christmas Market Gluhwein stand appropriately placed behind it and drink away the dreary scene~!

I had some silly led light painting fun while in the underground storm drain called the Love Tunnel. & I bet its called the Love Tunnel because its not far from where a lot of teenagers hangout, and I'd guess they go in here to fool around
Idol Fools / Fools Idol. Recorded and edited by Chris Lewis at Groove Studios Burnley, January 2018. Andy - Bass: Brandon - Drums: Mark (Decembers Twin / Bon) - Guitar. A jam session, with Bass and drums creating a droning, repetitive, noisy, psychedelic steam roller back line, of which Mark had free reign to drop in some guitars over the top

It's been a quiet sort of week. The fact you've been sick had been enough to shake you out of the funk you're in.
Now, it's just time to see if you know how to move past what you were.

Don't be fooled by the bland exterior of this place. Inside it is quite a unique box, combining the miniature style type "L" frame, an "NX" panel and a Westcad section.
Built in 1962, this box is a relative youngster in the area. The Westinghouse type "L" style miniature lever frame will be unique when Liverpool Lime Street closes in 2018. Indeed, the magpies of the S&T department have already been investigating the use of spares from Lime Street to prolong the life of the SR box.
Fools Floatilla is an annual event - everyone dresses up and floats down the Yahara river - quite a fun event!
Dakota feeling like this was a waste of time followed in Jade's footsteps, moaning to herself, "Pfft, Forest nymths my butt! We've been sent on another of Lord Conan's crackpot mythological investigations! Damn fool probably had far too much too drink!"
Norman Rockwell : Cover for Saturday Evening Post , April 3rd 1948 .
The April Fool's cover concept that Rockwell introduced in the Saturday Evening Post in 1943 and 1945 proved so popular with readers that Rockwell did another in 1948. Today, readers still delight in scrutinizing these covers—and even find new errors from time to time. Can you spot all of them in this 1948 cover ?

The Fool is one of the 78 cards in a tarot deck. In tarot card reading, it is one of the 22 Major Arcana, sometimes numbered as 0 (the first) or XXI (the last). However, in decks designed for playing traditional tarot card games, it is typically unnumbered, as it is not one of the 21 trump cards and instead serves a unique purpose by itself.
Interpretations
In many esoteric systems of tarot card interpretation, the Fool is interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana is the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life. This path is known traditionally in cartomancy as the "Fool's Journey", and is frequently used to introduce the meaning of Major Arcana cards to beginners.
The Fool card is associated with:
Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. [If the card is] Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.
Here is a high tech April Fools joke from Google. The end is surprising when you realize the whole thing is a joke. I was thinking while watching it that it was a great idea for the little ones in our life to have a self diving bike. It's short and worth a look click HERE
This has been on before but always worth a second look.
Things are a bit busy at this end of the season. Summer has hung on, and hung on. Ramadan has been and gone; Easter is just around the corner. So too is the first frost. Now's the time for getting in the harvest and putting away the tools.
That rush is why all you'll get on this April Fools Day is a few harmless pranks, and this quick snapshot. These are just some of the tools headed into storage.
On the left is my refractomer. It's calibrated to measure the wt% of dissolved sugar. For me, it's the piece of gear that extends the discussion about apple picking time. For any apple, it's the lift test first: has the abscission zone weakened? Then are the seeds changing from white through shades of brown. I don't use the iodine test; instead, I reach for the refractomer.
Next to it is one of my alcohol hydrometers. I could use it to measure the sugar in apple juice too. But that requires a bigger sample and cloudiness in the juice makes the scale difficult to read. Instead of bending light, it measures the specific gravity of the liquid: apple or grape juice, beer wort, whatever. The dissolved sugar makes the Sp.Gr. higher so when it is fermented out to alcohol the Sp.Gr. is lower. That's when I reach for a hydrometer — to determine the end point of fermentation. There's nothing worse than your cider exploding!
Out of curiosity, I also check the pH of my apple juice. Too low and the cider will be sour — so-called pig whistle cider. There's nothing fancy about my method — universal indicator paper is good enough.
This year's ripening season was weirdly early. It means I lost fruit I hadn't bothered to monitor because, on paper, it was too soon. That, and the hail storms messed up the apple yield. Typically there'd be so many apples and three distinct periods of ripening that I'd rack the two earliest batches to rest, then blend them back later before adding priming sugar and maybe a boosting shot of yeast to get the bottle fermentation I mostly use. Yes, I do some dry still varietal cider, or semi-sweet. But they're a lot of bother with multiple handling steps and for semi-sweet either the notion of chemical stabilisation or pasteurisation to prevent a secondary fermentation. Mostly, I can't be bothered. This year, I don't have to worry. There was so little fruit, high pH and high sugar, all at once, that the blending happened with the scratter and press. So instead of racking, decanting, blending and all the rest, this years cider has gone straight from the fermenter to the bottles with — touch wood — enough live yeast remaining to consume the priming sugar and carbonate the cider.
Righto, now back to work. Jack Frost is on his way!
This card occupies a unique position in the Tarot because no number is assigned to it -- its Key is Zero -- and it is sometimes positioned at the beginning of the Major Arcana and sometimes at the end. The Fool represents both the beginning and the culmination of the mystical quest.
The Fool is the eternal youth, *puer aetermus*, and he we seem him about to step off a cliff into the abyss below. In his left hand he carries a white rose representing spiritual desire, and in his right hand a staff or wand. Dangling from the end of the staff is a little bag or wallet containing the four elements -- Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
