  1. Its in everyones best interest to turn in thier census. It determines how much money your area will recieve over 400billion dollars to give the help needed to hospitals, school, senior centers etc. So basically it benifits you and your local areas. Therefore i believe that turning in your census is veryyyyyy important. If you dont your not only hurting yourself but your county and the people who live around you.

  6. The "left-handed whopper" hoax was actually quite funny, especially the part when right-handed customers asked for their own "right-handed whoppers." Most of the hoaxes I didn't really get or understand but I loved the whopper prank. Go Burger King! :D

  9. when someone said that there was a human arm in the waters and that they didnt know if it was Russian arm or not. They had a search and rescue team and everything all ready. Then the guys said it was a joke. Its funny but sad at the same time.

  10. I personally like this one the best. But looking through the lists of pranks/ jokes is quite amazing. When looking at pranks/ jokes like this, you know the person has to majorly creative. Being used in just pranks like this is just a small portion of what they can really do; which in my eyes is awesome.
