I think they've missed "Internet Explorer 8.1 leaked": http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/03/31/breaking-internet-explorer-81-eagle-eyes-leaked/ http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/03/31/breaking-internet... Though technically that would be March 31st fools…

Nice. Now that there is a list, we don't need to vote these all up to the front page. In fact, let's not vote any of them up to the front page. 'k?

  I thought CADIE was nice, in fact I'd preferred that on the front page over this, but I agree with you. Also, as QWANTZ points out today, they should all it disappointment Wednesday - TopGear on Hulu is sadly not real.

I'm sort of surprised there hasn't been that many attacks in human history on April 1st. Noone would believe it, until it was too late. "Sir we are under attack!" "Real funny, Johnson" "I'm serious!" "Yeah, yeah...let me just call up the president on my imaginary phone" "Look at the radar, sir" "I'm calling...I'm calling...yeah sir? we are under attack by Canadians, unicorns and mermaids...its a bloodbath!"

  The military do not take kindly with jokes. They tend to return with gunfire. So most likely, people would not take it as a joke.

Reddit is actually quite funny. Check also subreddits (science, wtf, nsfw, pics, worldnews). And there are Easter eggs when you use AdBlock :).
