10. The Internet Drunk Surfing Bill
Members of the U.S. Congress pulled a great prank on Americans in April of 1994, when Bill #040194 was filed to stop internet surfing while being drunk, or the discussion of sexual matters on a public network. The number of the bill should have been enough to tip people off, because it is a literal numerical translation of April Fool’s Day 1994, and the person of interest was listed as Lirpa Sloof (April Fools backwards). However, some people didn’t notice the clues, and ended up placing some very angry calls to Congress. It is rumored that Edward Kennedy was the one who sponsored the bill.
