This one brought a smile to my face:

COWS All the Way Down.

I'm not sure whether this is astrology, climatology or down right nonsense, but I hope it gives you a smiley pause too.

Yeah. It was obviously a joke but I must have been blind to not notice that date. Perhaps, avoiding writing April 1st is a way to trick gullible fools like me. Likely I'm just a scatterbrain who doesn't pay close enough attention.

Also, the proper term is "cowy". For someone who likes to play Scrabble a little too much it's really embarrassing to misspell such a common word. :)
