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 Kings XI Punjab Rashid and bhuvneshar takes SRH to victory Manan vhora all most won it single handedly for punjab

By Ahraz
Despite all its hard-core action and intensity, which sometimes can lead to heated exchanges between players, the Indian Premier League has also seen some heart-warming moments. The latest among those is the involvement of two Afghanistan players - Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi - who were roped in by the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise ahead of IPL 2017. Rashid, the 18-year-old leg-spinner, has been in the headlines for his fine bowling display in the first few matches for SRH, which spoke volumes of the growth of Afghanistan as a cricketing nation. On Monday (April 17), it was a double sweet moment for the nation as both Rashid and Nabi, the veteran all-rounder, were included as the overseas players in the SRH eleven in the match against Kings XI Punjab, making it the first occasion of two Associate Nation players being part of an IPL team's playing XI. Nabi, known for his explosive batting, did not get to do much with the bat, b...
