... was yesterday. What was the best April Fool's prank you saw/heard/experienced?

Mine was in radio: they told that some gas station was selling beer 10 cent/piece. They even fake-interview customer (who was actually an actor). It was hilarious, especially since some believed it. The Gas station keeper later complaned that his phone was blocked up by so many calls and people actually came in to buy that cheap beer. :lol:

Lucifer: Right. You'll need a much bigger notepad.

Maze to Lucifer: I'm worried that humans are rubbing of

That "Butterfinger" was changing it's official name to "The Finger"  

I found that quite amusing  :)

'Flying Penguins' on the BBC, I don't know if you can view the video outside the UK/Europe. But none of these were April Fool's!

The only one I ran into was that Dark Fort Weyr was going to have Zombies added to the world of Pern.  Emma forwarded that one. ;-)

You know, I didn't remember, but now that you mention it, I think I read that somewhere.

Probably on the dust cover of one of her books -- she mentions her April Fool's Day birthday in her bio.

Ok, considering that most of us have paperbacks, just the cover, not the dust cover.

I have her biography (or is it autobiography?).  Maybe I read it there too. :-D

I read an article saying that North and South Carolina were going to become one state in 2018.  The article said there was a vote to decide the new name of the state and the name South Virginia beat out North Georgia and North North Florida.

I read in disbelief for a bit, before realizing it was a joke.

For anyone who wants to read the article: http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/story.a ... ovider=top

Gmail also did a cool joke called Gmail Custom Time, a new gmail program through which you can change the time it says your e-mail was sent.  So, you can send in an essay late, but when the professor checks his/her e-mail, it will look like you sent it early.  I thought it was hysterical.  http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html

That was the part of the article when I started realizing it was a joke.  I like the sound of North North Florida though.   :)
