Maybe I'm just not a good pet owner, but I never understood the original Pet Rock . Mine just sat there holding down papers on my desk and refused to eat. Looks like this USB-powered one doesn't do much either. Like the tauntaun sleeping bag , the USB Pet Rock is another case of an April Fools Day joke turning into a real product. This is the joke video from earlier in the year: You can order your...
AOL today has launched a “new brand identity for its future as an independent company” that includes among other things the letters AOL superimposed on a fish. In what has to be an April fools day joke seriously late, or the loss of a serious bet, AOL is now Aol. (that’s not the end of a [...]
It started as an April Fools' Day gag, when ThinkGeek invented the Tauntaun sleeping bag along with the rest of their fictional products they display every April 1. Pretty much immediately, people commented how much they wanted the Tauntaun slee...
Section: Computers , Networking , Security , Features Back in November 2008, security experts became aware of Conficker, a worm that adds as many computers to its botnet as possible. Then in April of 2009 fear spread that April Fools Day, 4/1/09 would be dooms day, but it never came. Instead, the worm has built a ring of 7 million machines around the world that only wait instructions on what to do...
I didn't buy into The Obama Deception movie conspiracy theories, which was also extremely hostile toward Bush. But here's what I said on April Fools day this year, and that hasn't changed. His poll numbers are plummeting here in Ohio, both for job, economy and the war, so others are catching on to what many knew even in 2007. This misnamed "health care reform" [it's health care take-over],...
by SARAH NELSON , Contributing Writer April Fools day came a little late this year when an environmental activist group known as the Yes Men faked a Chamber of Commerce Meeting in Washington D.C. last week. The hoax was so convincing that the Washington Post and Reuters, along with other press, bought in and showed up to report on the conference. The group, pretending to be representatives from the...
On April Fools’ Day 2007, I posted a tongue-in-cheek article describing the lifestyles of the rich and stupid. This list of the dumb things people do with money in one of the most popular posts I’ve ever shared. I’ve softened a little since then. Yes, I think that people do some stupid things with money, but I’ve decided it’s not my place to judge them. I’ve done...
When Blizzard announced Cataclysm, they also announced that the hunter class in World of Warcraft would undergo significant changes, not using mana any more. At the time that bit of news went unnoticed, due to all the other significant changes to the game. But now Blizzard revealed more about the changes to hunter gameplay, and the changes are more significant than we originally thought: Instead of...
I was sent this in an email... In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. His argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the...

This is the kind of headline that you read twice, and then check to make sure it's not April Fools Day. The Memphis superintendent lined up philanthropic funding (not all of it accounted for - only one donor is named, and Mr. Gates has shown his willingness to dip into his own pocket to push his preferred reforms) to push merit-pay. Memphis, of course, is one of the districts Billionaire Bill is targeting...
I'm not going to lie, I thought my friend was pulling an April Fools Day joke several months too late when she told me President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Turns out she was completely serious. From The Independent : Nobel honour stuns Obama – and the world Not that I'm glugging the Haterade or anything, but I think it's way too soon to award President Obama a Nobel Peace Prize. He hasn't...
The first of the usual disappointments has, well, not disappointed. Bill Wilson dropped this trouser dumpling over at Bible Prophecy today regarding the Nobel Peace Prize that went to Obama: And the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize goes to - drum roll please - the man who occupies the Oval Office. Yes, you read me right, OOO has won the Nobel Peace Prize. April Fools Day has come six months early for...
