This was the easiest April fool's joke to spot ever on a Internet message board for me. Nice try, but it didn't fool me. There was however a 1/10th of a second when I thought (that doesn't mean being fooled).

Oh my-- It took me 2 minutes after reading the entire advisory to scroll down and realize this was an April Fools Joke. I just did not think April 2007 would come so fast. You fooled me.

But my joke was on December 28, which is Fools Day in Hispanic culture. Therefore, most people in the forum were not aware of it and it was easily to fool them.

Moreover, it was on 2005, and two days later Zeta formed. Some people were confused and questioned if the joke was pointing to the formation of Zeta because my illusive storm formed NE of the Antilles, just like Zeta.
