Here’s a post-April Fool’s Day gag you can use next year (assuming you’re geeky enough). All you need is an old computer processor, and a head of hair.

If your hair is thick like mine, you can stick the processor directly into your hair and it’ll stay there. It works better if you kind of “combâ€? it in. What I did was wear a baseball cap over it to really press it in good, and then took my hat off at random times throughout the day.

Throughout the day I tried different variations of the gag. At one point I had it completely under my hat, so the chip was only visible when I would briefly remove my cap. Later I had it hanging part-way out to see if people would notice it. Occasionally I’d even walk like a robot for a minute or two, but sometimes I do that anyway.

I dunno. Too geeky? Probably.

PS: My hair is not as gray as the flash made it look. At least I don’t think it is.
