Alright, so number sequence puzzles have been falling off a little bit. Puzzlers have been at a loss at how to combat this for some time, and I wanted to try to give it some thought. Right away, I thought of sequences related to pi and what-not. In trying to come up with something, however, everything was too obvious or too hard. Later, I tried e (Euler's constant), but with the same results. For all my efforts, I couldn't come up with anything. On the whole, I was stumped. Once more, I tried to come up with something brilliant and clever, and this time I succeeded! Laws of nature sure make great puzzles (I dare not say more). So, enjoy this spectacular number puzzle!

Well, at least part of the pattern is
that the first letters of the sentences spell APRIL FOOLS.
But
those sentences look a bit more constrained than they need to be just for that, so it's possible that I've missed something else. (The numbers, though, look a lot like the result of a keyboard-mash -- lots of short increasing and decreasing sequences, e.g. -- and I bet there's nothing useful in them regardless.)

Ah, fine as is. Probably would have accumulated some close votes from annoyed mathematicians if you hadn't. Also, I only spent about 2 mins on the puzzle itself, so it's not like you're messing up well-laid plans or anything.
