I was reading ElReg and expected there to be an article which was obviously an April Fools but I've found 2 which are definatly jokes but I'm not sure if some of the others are maybe a bit more subtle.

Has the Beeb got any gems that I haven't found? They had a corker last year, but I can't remember what it was :(

A tottenham forum I'm a member of had a pretty good April Fools joke this morning. A newly appointed mod caused mayhem, unbanning members, posting discussions from the mod lounge, offering mod services etc. which led to a lot of members including myself being temporarily banned.

It was more confusing than funny. No one had a clue what was going on. Was like an episode of Jerry Springer at one point. :p
 
Kid I look after got 5 different people with 3 different April fools today.

He told 2 people that his male dog had been discovered to be a girl and was having puppies, both people rang him, one rang to say they thought he (the dog) was getting fat, and the other rang because the child I look after had offered the person who rang one of the puppies, and they werent sure how they were going to cope with one in a teeny flat, but didnt want to upset him.

THEN

He got his Dad by saying the petshop man had given him a tibetan mastiff (his favourite dog) puppy for free because he felt sorry for him being disabled, and that his Dad was going to look after it. I was in the other room practically crying with laughter while his Dad said things like "but theyre very destructive" and "I dont care if it was free" before he finally realised what had happened.

THEN

He rang his nan and said that there had been a massive rain storm and the roof had fallen in, his nan started swearing and saying she was on her way down to help before she realised what day it was.

:D
I think for a 12 year old this makes him the April fools king!
 
I once called my friend and said my house was on fire and before I got chance to say anything else he slammed the phone down and came speeding round in his car.
