April Fool's Day Jokes

April 1st, 2008  from Keep it Real in Sacramento

It's April 1st again and that means there are some crazy things flying around the Internet. Some of it is difficult to tell if it a joke or not but most of it is fun. Here is a list I found earlier with links to some April 1st jokes.

  • The BBC's Flying Penguin's - this one is the best April Fools' joke out there this year. You can watch the video here .
  • CNET has TechCrunch acquiring TigerBeat and renaming it CrunchKids.
  • Google and Sir Richard Branson launched Project Virgle and plan to colonize Mars. See also the Google Blog announcement.
  • PizzaHut has become PastaHut.
  • Search the future with Google Australia's gDay technology.
  • Too busy to search? Let someone Google for you.
  • Catch up on your old email with Gmail Custom Time. You can only send mail back in time as far as 2004. "Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality."
  • Scribd will scan all your documents and publish them on the Internet for free. (via Boing Boing)
  • Bungie's next project is a LEGO version of Halo.
  • PirateBay is relocating to the desert of Sinai.
  • Orkut is now Yogurt.
  • Many more Google created or inspired April Fool's jokes listed here.
  • LifeHacker has a list of harmless geek pranks for those who want to prank their friends without causing permanent damage.

you're right. i got it this morning but then gave it back later today.

i told a bunch of e-pro people that the system was crashed by an e-pro administrator and now they have to re-take the entire class again. most of these people were just about finished and working on this for 6 - 8 months.

Thanks--this is a great collection!   The penguins may be a bit over the top, but my favorites are the gDay and Custom Time--I actually came across the email thing yesterday when I was looking for a google add-on and fell for it!  (Thought it was a pretty evil thing...)
