I saw one about Goodnight Moon being added to Biblical canon. That was epic. One of my friends posted a link on facebook that appeared to be a newspaper article about how she accidentally caused a security alert at an airport. When you clicked the link, it sent you to a site that said “April Fool” in big letters.

I love all of the nerdy pranks that get pulled on April Fools. There were some funny ones this year like BUNGIE’s announcement of Halo Chess. Great stuff.

Internet is the only place where I find April Fools jokes remotely funny. Usually. And that generally comes from having such a high degree of absurdity that there’s pretty much no question that it’s an april fools thing. It’s the constant back-watching, second-guessing, and paranoia that makes april fools’ day my least favorite day of the year.

Blizzard usually does good stuff.

I like the well-done jokes like Blizzard’s Equipment Potency EquivalencE Number and El’s news item about aquariums in Cataclysm. I don’t feel compelled to complain about the jokes I don’t like, however.

Oh, and I was hoping YouTube would keep the Text mode.

The worst thing about it was the lack of any really good ones, the one I most enjoyed was just a RickRoll. That’s kind of sad isn’t it?

I don’t mind web site pranks. I dislike it when people pull shenanigans in their journals or weblogs about their personal lives, like announcing they’re pregnant or whatever and then saying it was only a joke. That is just mean and unnecessary.

Basically I like the good-spirited, harmless stuff.

I enjoy the online pranks, but not the real life ones. My own MMO released cookies that you feed to your shop ingame and make it grow to huge sizes, with no limit…complete with photoshopped images of shops towering over cities. Meanwhile, someone in real life convinced me he got his girlfriend pregnant at 17, lol.

I enjoy the gags when they are well done. Blizzard always does great stuff, as does Think Geek. I would totally buy the monolith action figure.

it’s awesome.
people ought to know by now not to look at internets on April first if they aren’t into this stuff.
one more thing to mention: Tauntaun sleeping bags.
