usedHONDA Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I think it has become a tradition for Google to make some almost believable hoax every April 1st. The first one I discovered was Google Gulp! Beta. This year, they have Google TiSP.

barkbark00 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 For April 1st I took my mom out to lunch.... While eating, I told her I was cheating on my wife (through tear filled eyes), and that I didn't know what to do and she was the only person I thought would understand....I waited a second......Then I yelled APRIL FOOLS!!! Now, I understand that I am a very, very, very bad person... Quote  Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I put a paper on my flatmate's PC screen before going back to my parent's house for holidays, telling I broke his computer and I'm very sorry 'cause the disk burnt, and such. Later on IM: Did you liked my april fool? I was shouting alone in the apartment, people thought I was mad... I'm bad too. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

Helio Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I like doing the classic prank of taking a screenshot of someone's desktop, set it as the background, and then hide the toolbar and all icons. Works well on someone who doesn't know about screenshots. Quote v An excellent open–source strategy game—highly recommended.  "I wish I had never been born," she said. "What are we born for?"
