I will admit it, I love Holidays like April Fools. Not tied to anything in particular, just a part of our culture. My prank today involved informing my parents/bosses that I would not make it into work due to explosive diarrhea. I managed to go into gruesome detail and basically disgust to the point of realization of the holiday.
Everyone knows a great source for useless information on the internet is Wikipedia. So in honor of April Fools Day I started reading about the history of the Holiday. Apparently the first mention of it was by Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The reference is in the story The Nun's Priest Tale, which is set on the 32nd of March.
So enough with the history, here are some pranks that have already surfaced;
Google is called Topeka.
Blizzard has announced a slew of goofy new products.
Fraxis announced "Extreme Diplomacy" in the new Civilization game.
NASA has shown more proof of Water on the Moon.
Have a fun April First, don't fall for a prank and enjoy the spring weather.
