Let's collect links to various jokes. Here's a few to start.

Guardian:
In an audacious new election strategy, Labour is set to embrace Gordon Brown's reputation for anger and physical aggression, presenting the prime minister as a hard man, unafraid of confrontation, who is willing to take on David Cameron in "a bare-knuckle fistfight for the future of Britain", the Guardian has learned.

Independent:
London Underground is in talks with the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) about the possibility of using the 23km tunnel of the Circle Line to house a new type of particle accelerator similar to the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva.

Wikipedia:
he English custom of wife selling was a way of ending an unsatisfactory marriage by mutual agreement that began in the late 17th century, when divorce was a practical impossibility for all but the very wealthiest. After parading his wife with a halter around her neck, arm, or waist, a husband would publicly auction her to the highest bidder.

Any links to any April first jokes other than the ones above? I know usually BBC, Google, Blizzard, etc have something every year. Haven't seen anything yet though.

Ah the custom of wife selling... good stuff!
 
Google
Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.

Introducing Translate for Animals (beta): Bridging the gap between animals and humans


Making the world's information universally accessible is a key goal for Google. Language is one of our biggest challenges so we have targeted our efforts on removing language barriers between the species. We are excited to introduce Translate for Animals, an Android application which we hope will allow us to better understand our animal friends. We've always been a pet-friendly company at Google, and we hope that Translate for Animals encourages greater interaction and understanding between animal and human.

I actually tried out that app on my Android phone, it's silly. They actually made a real app. Google went out of their way on this one :E
Apparently me and my dog finally worked out her alcohol issues.

Scientifically proven to boost your senses and take down any signs of fatigue, you will now be able to clock up to over 100 hours of gaming time in one sitting.

The best I've seen so far tbh.
 
Check out Xfire.com for more retro btw. Especially the screenshot section.
 
Well, step one : "When paying by credit card, the billing information should be exactly as it appears on your credit card statement." Did you enter it? I didn't fill it out step one (TMI, CBA), but I was curious how far they would go.
 
company wide email:

All I can say is that the irresponsible
person who thought it would be amusing to
remove access to the north bathroom stalls
is not a professional. Anything that causes us to
lose productivity, "prank" or not, is not
funny. I hope that this individual will think
over the resources they have deprived the company
of today. That kind of behavior should really be
left at home.
sincerely,
***

It's basic information... nothing more than when you sign up at Amazon or something. Once you put it in it brings up the checkout screen and says they're free. Razer likes to mail stupid crap that's supposed to get you to buy stuff (they've done it before) so they'll prolly send out a fake thing like "oh we ran out of Venom, but here's a catalog and a coupon for $5 off our most expensive mouse... or a free sticker/pin/magnet/piece of toast."

They're not going to charge my credit card from my name and address... also I like Razer crap cause they make fantasic mice and some of the most useless peripherals ever.

Did anyone see the fun stuff over at Woot? www.woot.com

It's a shame that april fools jokes of late don't even try to "fool" people really. I guess it requires a bit too much effort. While some pull it off, most just do over-the-top jokes that are obvious before one gets past the headline.

For instance, the email I posted earlier might make one think that someone actually did something to the bathrooms... at least until one reads vertically.
 
Just watched Day[9]'s April Fools day SC2 cast.

"Always be a gentleman and show your opponent what you have so that they know, also psionic storm your own units to show that you're FEARLESS"

"Take some advice from Vietnam War vets and hide warp prisms in trees"

"Always build those defensive gateways, 30 gateways is a great base to have..."

"If the Terran player had built 40 sensor towers, would he have won sooner?"

****er didn't even say "April Fools!" D:
