Ok, today's pretty much a news blackout on the Net since it's April Fool's Day. Some of them are funny, some of them (Jobs at IKEA ) are lame.

Post the good ones here.

I'm surprised... there haven't been any good ones so far.

I think I got my future ex-girlfriend quite good this morning...

Yesterday I surprised her by knowing exactly what clothes she was wearing for work because she didn't know that I saw her on her way there...this morning she wanted to know who my agents were.

So I e-mailed her:
I really need to be honest with you now because our relationship is going so well since 3 weeks and I am feeling guilty since quite some time now!
You know that I am some kind of high tech freak and a few months ago I bought myself a little spy camera that can send medium quality pictures over the distance of ~300m - since you live so close to me, I thought you would be the perfect person to test that camera now!
Because of that and because of past bad experiences I brought this camera to your appartment on the first day you invited me and installed it in front of your entrance to check what kind of people you deal with when I am not there.
I am sooo sorry that I did that!!!! I hope you can forgive me and I am so glad that I am finally able to admit my mistake!!!
I will immediately come by tonight and deinstall the camera!


Her reply was kind of short and very shocked but still signed with "see you later"!
Man was she glad (and angry in a positive kind of way) when I told her 2 hours later that it could be a good advice to check today's date...

You did install it on the outside of her apartment, what is she getting upset about? It's not like you installed it in her bathroom.

A danish macsite (macnyt.dk) had an article about 'iMobile' and that our digital signatures would stop working on macs...
The one about the digital signature was quite good.

My favorite so far:

Peter Jackson's surprise announcement of Son of Kong. Almost had me convinced, too.
