April Fool’s, another day where people can make asses out of one another without being a jerk.

Woot.com has yet to sell out of their Black & Decker CP120B 20 Watt Power Backup Battery Pack – 2 pack for $14.99, Google pranksters are offering, “A Cool World: Enjoy a rosier future as a ,” Pizza Hut changed their name to Pasta Hut in light of their delicious pasta. There are many other pranksters out there, but these were a few of the bigger guys on the internet, every nerd needs a Woot gadget, Google’s awesome engine and pizza to fuel their typing fingers.

With all the skeptical people today, there is an article I found that claims some of today’s most bogus-sounding stories are true.

1. Pay-Per-View Funerals
2. A turtle addicted to nicotine
3. Cause of menopause
4. Injection allows for bigger and better orgasms for women
5. UK enlarges their school desk to fit the masses
6. Wind turbines or solar panels by UK companies work towards Britain’s renewable energy target

8. T’ai Chi can help diabetes
9. Thief steals 2 foot alligator from busy Norwegian aquarium

BBC’s news site gave this list of true, as the say, stories of the day.

No more pesky breathing into a strangers mouth to save their life, now with the new hands-only CPR you don’t have to worry about kissing their Donna Blue face.

In a major change, the American Heart Association said Monday that hands-only CPR — rapid, deep presses on the victim’s chest until help arrives — works just as well as standard CPR for sudden cardiac arrest in adults.

Hopefully people will be more willing to help strangers and loved ones who collapse with no EMS within the vicinity. The new method is way simpler, “You only have to do two things. Call 911 and push hard and fast on the middle of the person’s chest,”said Dr. Michael Sayre, a professor at Ohio State University for emergency medicine.

Hands-only CPR calls for uninterrupted chest presses — 100 a minute — until paramedics take over or an automated external defibrillator is available to restore a normal heart rhythm?

Why is pressing the chest important? Well, if the heart stops, the blood stops pumping and then you get organ failure. So keep that heart a pumpin’ and you’ll keep the brain a workin’… Save lives, press a chest.
