I hate April Fools jokes. At least the practical jokes kind, the fake ads can be funny when they're clever, like the New Tru-Spec Xtreme MOLLE Xtreme Uniforms Available Exclusively from US CAV - Soldier Systems Daily (http://soldiersystems.net/2011/04/01/new-tru-spec-xtreme-molle-xtreme-uniforms-available-exclusively-from-us-cav/) one I posted in the "cargo pants" thread.

This one from this morning is hilarious: Breaking News: Brownells Announces a New Product Line (http://lp.brownells.com/index.php/email/emailWebview?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTldaaE9Ua3lZMkl4WkdFe iIsInQiOiJUbzNNazF4ekpnWHpJVE05c3NUSVNic2oyTlFxdlo zc0orVlZQbmlcL0NLM09ZNE15bUU0RGE4WkM0Q3RBMzZUZG4zM mpqU1JkNHFBZlMrSmpIZ3V3M1I5aFJmRGNkYVwvSVwvamhPd21 PNDE4bGdpN0tOdDVvUXc3YXJrdEx5cjRJaCJ9)

Brownells, known for its incredible selection of firearms and firearm accessories, proudly announced today it has become the internet's largest tactical falconry dealer. Brownells' new Birds of Prey product line features hundreds of items dedicated to enabling private citizens, law enforcement officers and military personnel to engage in the ancient art of falconry for the purposes of self-defense, hunting and homeland protection.

The new line features well-trained tactical birds ranging in size from the sub-sub-compact Black-Legged Falconet up to the full-size Steller's Sea Eagle – an offensive raptor designed for maritime operations.

For customers in arctic conditions, the Birds of Prey line offers Gyrfalcons in traditional Snowy Tundra camo as well as a special Ghostly White Limited Edition, exclusive to Brownells.

Also available are a full line of tactical bird accessories, gear and supplies.

Some of the notable, cutting edge tactical falconry products include:

• Miniature Tactical Falcon Pants
• Falcon Action Camera Mounts
• PreyVision™ Falcon Spotting Scopes
• Falcon Handler First Aid & Suture Kits
• Tactical Falcon Treats
• Widening Gyre® Tactical Falcon Signal Whistles
• TalonHone® File & Pedicure Kit
• Falcon Night Hunter Owl Conversion Kit

"Housing the falcons has been the biggest challenge for us," said Pete Brownell, CEO of Brownells. "Well trained as they may be, we've noticed they tend to get nervous around lift trucks."

Some of the newest tactical falconry products in the line come from the innovative company Critical OperRaptor Dynamics™®π∞. Miniature Adhesive Falcon OperRaptor Beards are available in several colors and sizes and are guaranteed to resist bloodstains and not jettison during flight.

Also from Critical OperRaptor Dynamicss™®π∞ is a large assortment of Picatinny-Compatible Falcon Perch Rails to let the tactical falconry practitioner park his bird on his favorite AR-15 handguard, scope rail or ballistic helmet interface.

Yes, this an April Fools joke. No falcons were harmed in this ridiculous hijinks. Actually, we've never even seen a real live falcon.

the Lotus Cat Lids one was hysterical. If they actually made them I'd buy one, just because.
