- geoboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I can't decide if this takes away some of the fun or if it adds to it.
- cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Eh, I think it adds too it. Some of these things people wouldn't normally hear about or see at all. Gives them a chance to look up some good ones.
I've gotten pranked twice since midnight. Why? Because I'm nieve and keep forgetting it's April fools day. And I guarantee it will happen all day long... - a7bat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Hopefully this doesn't get pulled from the front page too, as it seems a lot of digg users don't have a sense of humor?

Microsoft Changes Name for “Vista” to "XP Service Pack 3"
http://digg.com/software/Microsoft_Changes_Name_for_“Vista”_to_XP_Service_Pack_3__2 - Rocksea24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Does anyone remember Valve's April Fool's Joke from last year?
"Friday, April 1 2005
An update is available for Counter-Strike: Source. The update will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. This update addresses requests for more realism in Counter-Strike: Source. The changes are as follows:
Features/Additions
Doubled player speed when jumping. The effect to cumulative, so the more you jump, the faster you go.
Cut price of AWP by 50%.
Added akimbo Riot Shield to buy menu.
Removed de_dust from mapcycle.
Realism Enhancements:
Knives:
Between rounds, it is suggested that you unsheath the weapon and repeatedly press the attack key to air it out as the leather now collects moisture and creates pits on the blade, making it less effective in the next round.
Shotguns:
1. Firing the shotgun without ammo loaded will now cause it to jam.
2. When the shotgun jams, press F2 to fill out form DA-1823-00/A12-H8.
3. You should then hear a scribbling sound. When it stops, press F3 to send the request to LIDM.
4. Failure to do paperwork before pressing F3 will result in the immediate return of the unrepaired shotgun.
5. The repairs can take 1-2 rounds for completion. During that time, you cannot purchase a replacement firearm and may only use your sidearm or knife.
Machine and submachine guns:
At least once every five rounds, press F1 to inspect the weapon:
A musical cue indicates that the inspection has started. Now press F1 again repeatedly to clean and lubricate the weapon.
Your Preventative Maintenance Status (either "cleaning" or "lubricating") is determined by the speed with which you press the F1 key and will be displayed above your head.
To accurately simulate real life maintenance mistakes, pressing F1 too quickly will lubricate either the bolt face or the trunnion block. Pressing F1 too slowly sprays lubricant directly into the buffer tube. All mistakes render the gun inoperable, though this may not become immediately apparent.
Experiment with keypress timing to avoid (and discover!) other common maintenance errors.
In order to balance the improved stopping power of a well-maintained weapon, the reloading process has been made much less reliable.
When reloading, you should listen for two or three distinct clicks over a period of several seconds.
If you hear one click or no clicks or more than two clicks, you've bent the link ejector chute and the gun will most likely explode on the next attempt to fire it, though it may not.

- andreo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think the biggest prank that I experienced was in Chicago. An AM Chicago talk radio station, WLS 890, also owned a FM station that played rock.
On April Fools day they switched the feed until about Noon. So people tuning in to the rock station was presented with Dr. Laura and the talk fans were treated to Led Zeppelin. The live local hosts pretended that nothing happened for the rest of the day. - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3On April Fools Day, it is funny to say "Today is not April Fool's Day."
- mofomojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Quickly, somebody get us a mirror of all these sites.
Before April 1st is over so we can save the hilarity, QUICK! - angelschambers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1poetrywars.com ran an article on the front page announcing that the newly merged Google and Microsoft were buying them out and renaming the site GoogleMicroPoetrySoftWars or gmpsw.com for short. I thought it was funny.
- Metal_Guru, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3So far nothing side spltitting... is the best thing they could think of was change every site on the net to pink?... I'd prefer light blue anyway.
- atbnet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Nope, just started tonight.
- diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why do I not see Google Romance on there? lol
- 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Did the "I want one" link on Woot always follow the cursor around?
- zivarik, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5you know you are digg-oholic when like me when digg is offline for maintenance and you panic that the Internet is not working! lol

Hah, ha.... er, aren't they pretty much trying to do this anyway? - matija, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2some of these make me sad cause they would be really cool if they were real :|
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2And the most inaccurate one.
- Gneisbaard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Notice the debian logo.
Their software probably died of old age. - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2LOL great link .... thanks

heheheheh - Yaroslav, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Where is Apple's April Joke so far? Mac OS Y based on XP or whatever?
- raindog469, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think my favorite so far has been the Ars review of DNF. Were those shots from some press kit they handed out in like 1999 or did Ars actually hire someone to make them?

- mccarron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Here is a story we put up on our Mortal Kombat Fan Site for today. Included some good fake screens as well.
A fighting gamer's dream has come true as Capcom and Midway have announced a major blockbuster announcement. The two companies have agreed to partner together for Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat on Xbox Live Arcade!

- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0These are old screenshots of DNF.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The PHP link is wrong...
- boshaus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2far too lame to have been a real joke. Must have been real.
- philupthecup, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Those were simply lame. ok maybe not "simply" lame but just stupid... speakin of April, who else wants to take a shower? now THAT'S comedy gosh i hate wanna-be-comedians who's with me???
- FlyingLlama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1i hope this "digg maintenance" wasn't a joke because i was going to almost pass out without my digg...
- JAshbaugh, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3I have a sense of humor, but why go visit sites just to see their predictable April Fool's format/story. Just doesn't do anything for me. To their benefit, It was the first time I visited Slashdot in a while.
- super_duper, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2amazingly...I felt exactly that.
- Mischa, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2seriously?
OMG! Slashdot?!? awsom
so much better. - Drood, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3From the link:
"PlanetHalfLife.com Large Half-Life news site turns pink."
Gosh, my aching sides. That's SO funny and clever...
If I could, on days like today, I'd eat my own head. - bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0"...humor on Slashdot has yet to been confirmed."
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1That's nothin compared to the April Fool's joke that PureHost.com is playin on their customers....are they gonna be piiiissed!
