Was the Physics Forums Ultrasound Post an April Fools' Joke?

  • Thread starter rootX
  • Start date
In summary, someone from chello.nl (a Dutch website) managed to get access to the image I posted on my website and before it was posted publicly, someone from the UK (Ivan) and someone from Finland (Zapper) also managed to get access to it. Moonie and Russ, who claimed they knew nothing about the trip, suddenly started talking to other staff members after seeming to disappear for a while. This seems to be the confirmation that the whole trip was a joke.

I will go cry in a corner now realizing this is not real :)

You are not alone. I seriously thought there is going to be a successor to PF, the Greg Jr. Now the future of PF looks dire. It would have been such a perfect synthesis coming to light as an emergent process and leading the way into the 22nd century. How could this happen tonight? was it a tear in the fabric of cyberspace? Were the gods not appeased with any more bytes?

Seriously, though, I did cost a flight to bora bora, and the cheapest I found would cost a monsterous £4000 !
I found one from LAX to PPT (Papeete) for ~ $1300 - $1700 trip.

From NYC to PPT is $1700-2100 round trip

I could actually fly NYC to Melbourne or Sydney for about ~$1100 roundtrip.

Since you live in Europe it was a bit unlikely to join them!:biggrin:
Nah, I would join them in a heart beat (it was a paid trip to Bora Bora!). Did you notice it took me two days to get back home? I did my homework :smile:

Everything was fake. No PF'ers are in those photos :D In fact those are just images I took from google images lol. The top header is also fake with me and MIH. I took one of her fb photos and pasted myself next to her. Works pretty well because it's black and white. That takes a lot of color mismatches out.

That's some good Photoshop work Greg.

Lolz. I was wondering how all of you flew down together!
 
  • #44
Greg, I read what you wrote and I think you're in love. Finding out that the wedding was off must have been crushing!

Sadly you have to hang out with Tom Cruise for a year. Small price to pay for a free wedding though!:-p

I highlighted the ultrasound and the link said April Fools before I even clicked it on it. :] I actually believed the wedding though, haha.

Oh Dave might shave those, too.

As I once heard on a Grand Theft Auto game...

"I have the right to bear arms, and arm bears, and all points in between!"

Thus...

Bear Armed.

Bah

I was really happy for you guys. And you fooled me
 
  • #65
I forgot to say this, but you did fool me and you fooled me good. I swore that it was real until I saw the ultrasound.

And I was the one trying to fool people! (I did get one person)

Yeah, the sunburn was part of the gag, but the code in the node wasn't. Just happened to fit in with the story. You don't feel bad that I had a code? :biggrin:

By the way, the Mentors got a little worried when we read this, nearly 2 weeks ago:
