April Fools!

As is the tradition on April Fools day all big sites do something...

As is the tradition on April Fools day all big sites do something funny and this year there have been some greats! Here is a quick list of some our personal favourites:

Homage to some of the past greats

  • In 1957 the BBC reported on the bumper annual spaghetti harvest on the current affairs programme Panorama (see the wikipedia entry on Spaghetti trees!)
  • Last year Facebook added a special feature LivePoke, where they claimed they would actually send a real person to go poke your friends
  • In 2006 SlashDot changed their site design, to pink with ponies!
  • eBay joined in the fun and had items such as Flying Carpets, Your Face on Mt. Rushmore and Happiness up for sale
  • NASA posted a picture of the First Space Quidditch Match on their Astronomy Picture of the Day website
  • Newsround website claims the planets of the Solar system will be renamed after characters from The Lord of the Rings - Earth will be named Gandalf
