All right, that’s enough – the bogus predictions and news tips were one thing but the drinking on the job just puts her over the edge. We’ve sadly told Sybill she can no longer post news here, but we have escorted her safely back to Hogwarts, where we hear has taken up decoupage and cribbage. We hope you guys had fun having her around!

(PS:

Harry and the Potters are back together.

Dan Radcliffe has been re-convinced to bare all in Equus in September.

Rick Astley has not been cast as Bill or any other Weasley, though we can’t say with certainty that the video bears no resemblance on the forthcoming movie. Under embargo, you know.)

;)

Oh, and we hear it was April Fool’s yesterday? Boy, we sure hope none of you fell for any lame jokes!

Really, Melissa? Mugglenet covered my band’s break-up and Leaky didn’t? I am seriously offended. This site needs to return to a real-news format ASAP.

So… am I the only one who was expecting Fireflower to end his/her post with “Haha APRIL FOOL”?

You broke up?

Noooo, bring back Sybil !!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the laughs Leaky (although some people still need to lighten up a bit!) you’ve done Fred & George proud!

LOL! I love April 1st. I always manage to pull off a couple of jokes at my school. First I convinced my students that it was actually March 32nd because of leap year. After they realized I was pulling their leg I then proceded to get our office manager to summons the teacher next door to the office while I volunteered to keep an eye on his students. Then I switched my students for his. When he came back the students were very quiet and busy at work . He was very please with them until he realized it wasn’t HIS class! ; o )

Omg Jutti…that is hysterical! Very, very clever.

I can say that I didnt really get “got” by much today. The Equus story may have been believable had it been a different day… I was just surprised to see how much rickrolling went on, everywhere. Ok actually I got rickrolled once, when I went back to right-click save-as the XKCD comic about rickrolling I posted in Sybil’s news post about the trailer. They disabled the right click and instead had it bring up the youtube video. I was also intrigued by the “new” Gmail ability to send emails to the past…

Awww, I new it was an April fools joke, but it was good fun. I am sad that Sybill is leaving. Couldn’t she make a guest appearance every now and then?

Jutti, that are really good jokes!

I’m a little (very) disappointed that Leaky didn’t seem to wish Fred and George a happy birthday? I was fairly certain April Fools’ was it, and I thought it very fitting. Shouldn’t we have been celebrating their 30th?

Jutti,

That is priceless! Wish we could have seen his reaction!

And TLC, you did F&G proud again this year. Even though I have been prepairing for this day for a while now (I was sure no one would get me) you, a coworker, and another HP site got me at least once. I tip my hat to you!

Jess – You crack me up!

Jutti, that sounds classic! I bet it will go down in your school legendary tales.

Will miss that crazy Sybil and her inner eye…

I really believed the Equus one.

Posted by Patrick on April 02, 2008, 10:48 AM report to moderator

Was awesome while it lasted =]

Awesome Job Leaky :) What a great idea!

I must be the umpteenth person to say this but: I can’t believe I got Rick Rolled!
