What interesting April Fools jokes have you found today on the Internet? Google is advertising their new smart yard, Google Gnome. And Google Maps lets you play Pac-Man in your neighborhood!

So every year, the Scouting Magazine does an April Fool's story. This year was pretty good:

The Boy Scouts of America are going to put a high-adventure base... on the Moon.

The Matt Damon joke was pretty good.

Don't know about today as April Fool's pranks have been sub par ever since the BBC spaghetti harvest docu. Can't beat that one.

Netflix put a new show up, haven't seen it, but it cracked me up when I saw the bio.

Reddit's annual social experiment is always great. I'm taking the lead in making Megumin pixel art, and helping the AMD logo.

I like what the mods have done this year.

We seem to have an outbreak of @sal_vagers.

That's not a prank, it's a tribute to his old avatar

Wait... is it for April Fool's,  or is it just that all mods now have the sad-smiley face?

It's not for April Fools, that was Sal's old avatar for awhile, the mods changed it to that, because he's going to be gone for awhile, and they changed their profile pics out of respect.

I stumbled across that the other day. It was something like "Netflix Cancelled", and the description says it was some sort of cancelled Netflix project.

*Looks at avatar* You can say that again!

Wood working is a hobby of mine, and some of the vendors and pundits had some good videos this year.

Veritas always does a great AF video, so they are so believable, that even after your done watching them, your not quite sure if they actually sell this thing.  If you do a little digging you can find the ones from past years, well worth the watch.

 

Paul Sellers is one of the masters of the craft, and his videos are very informative, but fairly bland, just his presentation style.  So I was really surprised he pulled this one off.  Sadly, he edited the title.
