Title: Best April Fools sites
Post by: raydeen on April 01, 2006, 10:43:54 AM
So far Slashdot (  :heart:OMG! PONIES!! :heart:) and Homestarrunner are the funniest IMO. I'm sure there's more. YTMND is probably melting down right about now.

Fark is now apparently a frog porn site.  It amused me.

Google is opening up a dating service! http://www.google.com/romance/


Oh, and in case you missed it (they actually posted it yesterday), Blizzard has announced the new Alliance race (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/wisps.html) and a new line of restaurants (http://www.blizzard.com/press/060401.shtml).  Caydiem also "leaked" (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-priest&t=764467&p=1&tmp=1#post764467) the 1.11 patch notes.  The funny thing about all this is that blizzard reps are responding to questions about all of these things in a serious manner.


And you are correct, YTMND wins.

The "new" YTMND front page really makes me appreciate their own web design.  I'd forgotten how shitty Ebaum's site layout is.

My favorite April Fool's prank was more horror than comedy. (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/01/gwot_cha/)

Cartoon Network wins. They inserted farting and shitting noises into Fullmetal Alchemist. Perfect considering it was the first time I'd seen it on tv. It made it watchable.

I'm bringing my entire DVD collection to California.

(Disclaimer: My entire fullmetal alchemist DVD collection consists of 2 discs that were on clearance.  But I still think it's a good show and schild's a nerd for not liking it.)

For any Web application developers out there, here's a funny one: SQL on Rails (http://www.sqlonrails.org/screencast)

That's funny even if you aren't a web dev.

www.thinkgeek.com has some very "interesting" products up on their front page.

Damn you for reminding me that ThinkGeek exists.  Every time I visit their site I end up buying something.
