#77 The Almost All True, Almost April Fool’s Day Issue

Published on April 2, 2005

I call this the “Almost April Fool’s Issue” because it almost came out on April Fool’s Day, which almost would have helped teachers with timely lesson ideas. But almost everything about April Fool’s Day, anyway, should be a lie or joke, and almost everything in THIS issue is almost the truth, so I almost decided not to publish this issue at all, since it was almost certain to confuse people expecting almost all lies. Hope that clarifies things.
