A list of things which do not actually constitue a valid April Fools’ Day joke taken from Anil Dash:
“I changed my stylesheet! To someone else’s!” Why isn’t that funny? Because I still knew it was your site.
“Our tiny company bought/got bought by a giant company. Like Microsoft!” Wow, that’s lame. Neither believable nor surprising enough to be amusing.
“We are embracing this thing we’ve demonized forever!” So you’re a pest removal service that’s getting into the cockroach-raising business? Sigh.
“We have a big announcement today!” No you don’t. It’s Saturday.
“Our new product does the impossible.” You mean like making an April Fool’s joke on the web that’s actually funny.
I was actually planning on changing my stylesheet to something funnier before I read this list. Nibaq already pulled the second one today.

I hate it when ppl pull april fools pranks! especially when it’s my birthday lol
april fools is pretty lame and everybody expects this shit. well i guess in kuwait you can still fool some arabi dudes but they don’t understand what april fools is anyway so it’s just lame on another level.
ha ha, then you would have been lame. But not by standards, anyone who does anything on April fools gets an A for effort, because I’m too lazy to do anything.
