HAMBURGER ZA LEVIČARJE– Levoroki Whooper, ki je oblikovan posebej za 32 milijonov levičarjev v Ameriki. Novi sendvič ima enake sestavine kot običajni, le da so obrnjene za 180 stopinj, da bi ustrezale tudi levičarjem.
9. NEOBSTOJEČI OTOK
Britanski Guardian je leta 1977 na sedmih straneh objavil ekskluzivo o San Serriffu, mali državi v Indijskem oceanu, ki sestoji iz nekaj otočkov v obliki dvopičja. Članek je opisoval kulturološke in geografske značilnosti tega čudežnega otoka.
8. NAJHITREJŠI IGRALEC
Igralcu je bilo ime Sidd Finch, njegova posebnost pa je bila ta, da je bejzbolskožogico lahko zalučal s hitrostjo 260kilometrov na uro, kar je bilo za 100 več kot tedanji svetovni rekord.
7. VROČEGLAVI GOLI TOPILEC LEDU
Časopis Discover je leta 1995 zapisal, da je ugledni biolog dr. Aprile Pazzo na Antarktiki odkril novo živalsko vrsto: Vročeglavega golega topilca ledu. Ta fascinantna bitja naj bi imela na glavi močno prekrvavljene žile, ki so se segrele in jim omogočile hitro topljenje ledu. To sposobnost naj bi uporabljali za lovljenje pingvinov. Po raziskovanju dr. Pazza so zaključili, da so vročeglavci verjetno krivi za skrivnostno izginotje raziskovalca Phillippa Poissona leta 1837.
6. TACO BELL JE KUPIL LIBERTY BELL
na naslovnici je izšla novica, da je veriga hitre prehrane Taco Bell kupila Liberty Bell (zvon svobode), ki je eden velikih simbolov ameriške neodvisnosti.
5. Jupitersko-Plutonski gravitacijski efekt
Leta 1976 je britanski astronom Patrick Moore v intervjuju za BBC Radio 2 izjavil, da se bo zgodil nenavaden dogodek. Ob 9.47 naj bi se Pluton nahajal neposredno za Jupitrom, glede na Zemljo. Ta redka poravnava naj bi vplivala na gravitacijo, zato naj bi Zemljani tehtali manj.
4. Spremenjena vrednost Pi
Leta 1998 je v aprilski izdaji revije New Mexicans for Science and Reason izšel članek o spremembi vrednosti matematične konstante Pi iz 3,14159 v "biblijsko vrednost" 3,0. Svetovni splet je poskrbel, da se je novica razširila hitreje kot sicer in odziv je bil ogromen. Članek je napisal fizik Mark Boslough, gre pa za parodijo na zakonodajne poskuse vplivanja na učenje o evoluciji.
3.Švedi z barvno televizijo s pomočjo najlonk
Leta 1962 je bila SVT edina švedska televizija, program pa je seveda predvajala v črno-belem formatu. Prvega aprila so objavili posnetek, kjer je njihov tehnološki strokovnjak Kjell Stensson razložil proces, ki bo ljudem omogočil prejemanje barvne slike.
Kopici strokovnih besed je sledil popolnoma preprost postopek namestitve posebne prevleke. Vse, kar so gledalci potrebovali za barven prenos, so bile – ne boste verjeli – najlonke!Narobe obrnjene najlonske nogavice, poveznjene čez ekran televizorja, in točno določen kot gledanja v ekran naj bi bila dovolj za popolnoma novo izkušnjo. Poleg tega, kot je dodal Kjell, je zibanje glave naprej in nazaj najboljši način za izostritev barv.
2. Špageti rastejo v Švici
BBC-jeva Panorama je 1. aprila 1957 objavila triminutni prispevek o žetvi špagetov v južni Švici. Za uspeh letine imata zasluge blaga zima in izumiranje parazitov, ki napadajo špagete. Gledalcem je zgodbo predstavil voditelj Richard Dimbleby, na posnetku pa so gledalci lahko opazovali švicarsko družino, kako z dreves obira špagete. Prispevek je končal z izjavo: ''Za vse ljubitelje te jedi – nič ni boljšega od doma gojenih špagetov!''
1.Nixonova vnovična kandidatura
Leta 1992 so v oddaji Talk Of the Nation radia National Public izjavili, da bo Richard Nixon spet kandidiral za predsednika ZDA. Njegov predvolilni slogan naj bi se glasil: "Ničesar nisem zakrivil in tega ne bom ponovil."

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
