Any good April fool's jokes out there in the papers or on the web?

Youtube have flipped the page layout - when you click a video from the front page you watch the video upside down. Not the best April Fool's joke.

Neopets usually has an April Fool's joke, wonder what it is this year?

There's also the video on the BBC website where you can fool your friends in to thinking they're psychic.

There was a terible one on GMTV with Lorraine "for sure" Kelly this morning. A bad actress with equally bad ageing make-up on was testing a miracle wrinkle cure. They would have been better off saying Dr Hilary doesn't dye his hair.

Ah, it's kinda funny though. :)

Apparently Peter Crouch might start up front for England tonight! It's so ridiculous I didn't believe it for a second!

A very feeble one on Yahoo News today:
Kelly Osbourne threw herself down stairs to get drugs.
The reality TV star - who recently completed a stint in an Oregon rehab clinic where she was treated for an addiction to painkillers - has lost count of the number of times she deliberately hurt herself so a doctor would prescribe her medication.

Obviously this sort of pap is not news, but it's not very amusing.

Yeah, and Alan Shearer's gonna be Newcastle manager!

Wikipedia has made its featured article for the day the "Museum of Bad Art". It also makes comical references to Jacqui Smith's porn fiasco and other current events, while linking to other more humourous articles on the site.

BBC's Shark Whale......

My biology teacher tried one with some pollen grains...

What did he try?

He set up a microscope, saying we didn't all need to do it as there wasn't time, and to just look at his pollen grain slide. You could see instantly that it was paper under the scope, but he called us up in groups to look. It was a little piece of orange paper saying "April fool!" in tiny writing when you focussed. He even said beforehand, "Did you notice last time how orange they were!?" Silly Tunnadine...

Oh dear. :P
