George announced via Twitter that he was chosen as the final torch bearer for the newly postponed Olympic games in Japan.
He featured a pic of the torch, along with some of his Trek do-dads.
Much excitement ensued, to only find out a day later, that it was a hoax of his own making.
I guess if it had be the real deal, that would have finally caused Shatner to pop a gasket, seeing George atop the tower, lighting the Olympic flame and being applauded by millions everywhere.

I saw his post on Twitter. Only now do I realize it was a hoax from reading this.

LOL, it's a good one.
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...

I saw it and he got me for about ten seconds when I realized it was April 1st.
Oddly it was the only April Fools joke I saw that day...

Re: George Takei's Best April Fool's Ever
I saw a news article claiming that Audi, Merc and BMW where going to merge and only select models would remain in production. I didn't believe it and they did end the article by saying "Happy April fools day"
