The Museum of Hoaxes (yes, it's a real organization based in San Diego) has compiled a list of the best April Fool's Day pranks ever. You can click here to see the top ten, and the museum's website is www.museumofhoaxes.com, but for some reason (high publicity and traffic before the big day, maybe?) the site won't open. Later then I'll link to my favourite--Guinness Mean Time.
Later: MoH is back up, and they expect it. The curator wrote last year:
"You may also have noticed that the site is loading slowly. That's the April Fool's Day effect, which happens every year. Traffic to the site spikes, causing the server to grind to a halt. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm lucky the site is loading at all. "
So here is the direct link to the Guinness Mean Time AFD hoax that caught London's Financial Times: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/guinness.html
I dare you to stay less than 5 minutes in the Museum.
