Top 5 best jokes of 1st April 2017


1. Trump buys Irish high-rise

If you believe the Irish Times, Dublin is to get its very own "Trump Tower". "Trump Dublin is expected to be completed by the end of 2018," it exclusively revealed.
Extra credit should go to whoever completed the joke with a fake tweet from Donald Trump: "Bought a small tower in Dublin, Ireland. We are going to build an awesome hotel in Dublin. It will be totally great. Love Ireland! Great country! trumpdublin".

2. Russian hackers on demand

Inspired by claims that Kremlin-sponsored hackers tried to rig the US election, Russia's foreign ministry shared "a new answering machine for Russian diplomatic missions abroad" on Facebook.
"To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1," the fake switchboard message suggests. Your other options? "Press 2 to use the services of Russian hackers", or 3 "to request election interference."


3. Germany to go GMT

The scamps at the UK's German embassy tweeted that Germans would shortly vote to "leave, or remain in" Central European Time (CET). "A replica of the Shepherd Gate Clock in Greenwich would be placed atop the World Time Clock in Alexanderplatz, Berlin, in a frivolous symbolic gesture," the writer deadpanned.
The clues were there for linguists, however - the surname of the "government spokesperson" quoted - Frau Sommerzeit - translates as "Summertime".


4. Triple-decker plane

Emirates airline almost had us going with the claim that it's planning to unveil a triple-decker plane. Why? Time zones. The UAE gets to 1 April before the UK and without that all-important date-stamp... could it possibly - somehow - be true?
No, is the answer. The Dubai-based carrier has not designed a plane including "a swimming pool, games room, gym & park". Our sympathies to the 6,800 excited people who re-tweeted that...


5. Canine cabin crew

Meanwhile in the Antipodes... Virgin Australia will be the first airline in the world to employ dogs as cabin staff, the company announced on Twitter.
While less useful in an emergency, these little guys might have been a loveable distraction at 40,000ft.

SRH V/S DD TOP KNOCK BY Kane Williamson Takes SRH TO A massive total

By
Kane Williamson, who struck a magnificent 52-ball 89 to help Sunrisers Hyderabad record their fourth consecutive win at home, showed just why he's rated among the best in the world. After warming the bench in the initial few games, he grabbed his chance and laid the foundation for his team's win with a 136-run stand for the second wicket with Shikhar Dhawan. Williamson acknowledged that though he was training hard, the mental switch to get into Twenty20 mode is what helped him do well. "Nice to get a game and fortunate that I was able to contribute," he told the IPL website on Wednesday (April 19). "Sitting on the bench in the first few games is part and parcel of the IPL. The guys were doing a really good job. You are always practicing to be ready but it also has to do a little bit with the mental shift as well from the other formats we have been playing." Sunrisers had lost  David Warner  in the second over after opting to bat and need...

By
The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen.
