Best april fools jokes.

What are the best jokes that you have seen ever in april fools. My favourite is when the BBC showed a documentary for a plantation of spaghetti trees and gave a phone number to buy shares for said plantation. 75,000 people phoned up to buy shares... Whats the best thing youve seen?

I haven't seen many, ad I've only really been paying attatention(ow) to them this year. So far I've seen:
www.modDB.com saying that pink will be the new site theme.

http://www.svencoop.com saying that Sven is leaving the mod and that the new leader is turning it into a Flight sim mod.

http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk is packageing cats for mail order.

and at http://www.beyondunreal.com/ they've annouced the new Unreal game, Featuring SlugFart technology.

I don't remember any really good ones, but I've seen quite a few today. On one forum, everyone was locked in to using a special bannana skin, featuring a blinding yellow background and a massive picture of a bannana carved with the words "I AM BANANNA." Then on that same forum, April Fool's Day was declared cancelled after a mod moved every single thread into a single sub-forum. It's incredibly evil, but it was so funny to watch.

Best prank I've ever seen that I can remember would have to be when EGM published a Nude Code for DOA: XBV. Silly perverts.

i think the only april fools joke that i've ever really appreciated was done by our very own Brian. must been last year, or the year before, when he said he was tired of getting sprite-comic hate mail, and decided to start hand drawing comics about his real life. it was pretty funny, and yes, i fell for it.

I think it was last year on Maddox's site.

I happen to like the joke on Doomworld right now - and it serves a dual purpose!

... bunCHA sellouts...

Edit: Also, I remember the infamous "All bonds" code for Goldeney 64 printed in EGM years ago. That one was priceless.

I have to say that the one that Homestarrunner.com has going right now is pretty good.

The one where you say to a guy "Dude, whats on your shirt?" and he looks down and then you swipe your finger up and hit him on the nose and then go "APRIL FOOLS!".
