Ok I realise that for some people, it may not be April Fool's day yet.
What are some of the craziest jokes you've encountered today? If any of you use the AdBlock extension, it gives you pictures of cats instead of the ads.

This is kind of a personal one, but on our school, we had this principal that was a bit afraid of the.. females.
The administartion sended letters to some girls from ur school saying that they had to go, for a research, to his office with a jar of urine.
ouch.
well it wasn't today, but the greatest april fools ever was in san diego. A local radio station morning show claimed to be in contact with a space shuttle that was making an emergency landing in san diego.
SO many people believed it that cops had to go and direct traffic away from the airport that it was claimed to be landing at and inform everyone. there's no shuttles flying right now, and this airport is to small for it to ever consider landing at
The DCM legion lead an assault on DAKKA with Mat with 1 T Ward love avatars and sigs, on Valentines day. People were SO pissed at this idea, we pretty much had to shut down the project early to give the MODs a break. Poor MODs
My family once replaced my usually hot sauce with habanero hot sauce.
... I couldn't taste the food, it suuuucked. What's the point of adding a condiment if you can't taste anything because of it?
As an aside, the avatar change is NOT an april 1st joke heh. As amusing as that would be, given its source.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Could be worse. I saw sites where the mods/admins changed everyone's avatar to one of the MLP characters for a day.

If you've read MSPA's Homestuck, you'd probably recognize it as a troll (thus why I was stating it wasn't intended to be an april fools joke) from that universe. In this case, a fan-drawn picture of an original character I made up for the lulz (and one the artist drew and colored for practice).

I'm at work on the road, so no AFD shenanigans for me today, so I'll enlighten with a tale from years past:
I was about 13 at the time, a mischievous age, back when my parents were still together. I woke up at 2am, snuck downstairs as quietly as possible and switched the salt and the sugar. An old joke, no? Well, I went back upstairs and got back in bed, trying hard to not giggle at my 13 year old brilliance. At about 9am, my parents started getting my sister up, as we were about to head to church at 10. It was a Sunday. My sister goes downstairs and gets out a big bowl of wheat Chex-which she used to love. The last bowl of Chex in the house, I might add. As a 10 year old child, she LOVED tons of sugar on her Chex. I'm still in my room, listening...waiting...then the screaming and crying starts. I hear BAWLING from the kitchen, followed by "MATT! Go yell at your son! He switched the salt and the sugar. Now Kelly has nothing to eat before church (she was a picky eater)!" My dad starts walking up the stairs, slowly. I'm sitting there, waiting for my end to come. The door slowly opens..."Brian, did you switch the salt and sugar?" Head nod. My dad bursts out laughing. "That was freaking hilarious, but don't do it again. I can't handle the headache."
I don't think I've ever seen my sister eat Chex again-she's 23 now.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.
