Some dude was showing off this translator thing. You speak into it and it says what you said in German.
Is it a joke? If not, that is *the* coolest thing ever!
Got this from the site...
"BABEL-ON INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATOR
An amazing new communication aid, the Babel-On International Translator, is all set to revolutionise learning, business, communication, and tourism. When spoken into, the Babel-On instantly translates an English phrase into German and vice versa. And not only that, the machine translates in exactly the same voice as the person who speaks into it!
Lead Developer of the translator, Dr Brian Cox, will be on the show to tell us how it works and why it is just the first step in the long road toward a universal translation device. "
They'll be showing it again at the end of the show. Channel 4

Whilst this may/may not have been a joke, you can actually purchase translators that you speak into and it translates what you want to say into a foreign language. I saw the advertised on a recent shopping trip to Thurrock
Hahahah.
My best idea for April Fools was to get a can of orange Tango from the vending machine and spent 1hr with friends shaking it up during a free period (taking turns, playing catch etc..).
Gave it to some guy that came in, at the end of the free period asking if he wanted it because "we got two instead of one", he took it. We waited in anticipation... and all we got was a little fizz coming out.
Really didn't live up to expectations. I was hoping for a massive explosion.
Also other people broke into other peoples lockers and changed the padlocks over so people couldn't get into them. That was quite amusing. Vandalism but amusing.
