What was you favourite Best April's fool joke this year?
I found this one quite funny: http://www.mst.edu/[^]

I had to look around at what has been done out there. I am not sure it is that funny, but the hair-raising thought of an MS SmartClippy[^] deserved an extra look.

My favorite is that a large German ISP was reported to encourage the use of Bittorrent. It should help balance up- and download traffic of end users.
Reason was said to be that the copper cables, once planned to transfer analogue voice, suffered from nowadays usual HF transmissions causing the skin effect to concentrate currents in a small area near the cable's surface. The concentration was said to be so intense at 4GHz+ that copper atoms were moved out of their lattice position. The predominant download caused the drift to amass in one direction, degrading signal quality.
The ISP had to reverse the most heavily affected cables' direction including a lot of expensive ground digging, so that the same effect restored the original atomic lattice. Process had to be repeated every few years, the report said.
Absolutely hilarious.

Only seems to play in IE[^]. It's possibly worth having a look at.

I can't see the difference between IE and Chrome...

What version of IE are you using?

I see a picture of the Falkirk Wheel[^], a pretty nifty bit of kit.

Nothing now, it was an Aprils Fools Day thing from Microsoft. There was a Song Thrush singing as the animated backdrop. The kicker was that it was singing opera.

Yes. Very annoying to have that go off every time I opened the browser to search for something.

I'm sure this must have been posted before so apologies in advance but I don't recall seeing it, so here it is for further amusement...

I have a little GPS
I've had it all my married life
It's better than the normal ones
My GPS is my wife
It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five"
It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake
It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene
It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice
It fills me up with counseling
Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off.
