The good thing about imagination is that we own it and can mould it as per our whims and fancies. That we can let it fly in any frivolous direction makes us human beings. April 1st is that notorious day when we can lay bare our wildest imagination, yet people will blame the day, not us.
So, taking advantage of this occasional foolhardiness, here are some headlines that we wish were true:
