"GM buys Specialized Bicycles" : Fessed up this morning: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/29459/GM...ican-ownership

"Carbon wrap kit for aluminum bicycles": http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?...arbon_wrapit08

As a "steel is real" kinda guy that one really makes me laugh. The aluminum must keep the carbon from flexing and the carbon hides all the cracks in the aluminum.

Yes, both bike geeky. For the gmail users, gmail announced "On time, every time" with the ability to pre-date your emails, the screenshot shows someone using the "feature" to remember their grandma's birthday.

Best prank to pull: The Newton Virus


(Note: don't turn your speakers up because there is no sound)

A comic book forum I go to added the words Superman, Batman, and Spider-man to the list of censored words.

Last year they added the word "The" so every post would have ### in every other sentence.

hehe. Super Pii Pii brothers. Good find, Cyn.

Here's mine... heard about it on CNBC this morning:

One of my favorite pranks was the San Serriffe hoax done sometime in the 70s. You might try Googling it.
...

My own prank today was the following email sent to Tpop:

Hello Tpop. I have not been feeling well for the past couple of weeks and went to see my doctor yesterday. She took some blood and will have some testing done. At the same time she suggested a pregnancy test to which I said that would be impossible because you've had a vasectomy. She asked that I humor her. It came back positive.

(Of course he called right away to reiterate that he loved me and that he had not put on deodorant this morning and he was sweating. I laughed and told him April Fool and reminded him that he had had a vasectomy 8 years ago.) What a schmucky schmoo.

World of warcraft has a few april fools jokes today. A new console game announcement and a new class. On their forums all posts has leetspeak randomly placed in everyone's posts.

The BBC's big one today was a news story that penguins can fly. Because I stayed up all night and was very tired, when I saw it on TV this morning it took me about 20 seconds to realize that it was fake.

Not sure if that Zelda thing is actually fake. I did some investigating and I found this site as well.

So who knows? If it is a hoax, its quite an elaborate one!

This.

This fucker had me swearing up and down and moaning in agony as a Cubs fan, until it hit me all of a sudden that today is April 1.

I. Am. Not. Smart.

Our office has all of these Motivators posters all along the walls. Overnight, somebody came in and replaced them all with Demotivator posters.

The funny part was how long it took our boss to realize what happened.

April fool's joke

I called my Mother crying, saying someone had broken into my house, and stolen a bunch of stuff. I said the cops are still here and she asked what was gone. I said a list of things, including made up gizmo's that I said I had bought recently. She, for the first time ever, fell for it and I got to laugh at her with satisfaction until she hung up on me.

"Wired" magazine reported that the earth is running out of Helium, and that the major source of Helium on Earth is under the Texas Panhandle and it will be gone in 9 years.

Whoops, my mistake. Apparently this may not be an April Fool's Joke after all!
