Paste your favorite April Fools pranks here.

And I see that Google US has their April Fools prank up: Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity

From MacRumors.com:

I just learned that if you append "&flip=1" to a YouTube page, it results in an interesting view: Example: Apple's 1984 commercial (flipped)

If I recall correctly, you weren't exactly laughing when it happened

I got the closest I have ever gotten to successfully buying one this morning! I've been trying for a few years now. At least they didn't pull the stunt last year with the Black & Decker Battery packs.

With the right shipping code (aka SNAIL) you could get that shipping cost down - $999,995 off. But of course, I missed the whole thing because I didn't even know it was "bag of crap" day until I got the twitter that it was sold out. And that was driving home from the park, so it sold very quick.
