Did you play a joke or have one done unto you? Find a cool website gag?

Just cheesey things at work so far for me. The radio station which we have piped in keeps spam playing the rick roll song.

One lady brought in cinnamon rolls for everyone to eat...but we soon found out they were plastic :(

Somebody came in and put post it notes on the bottom of our laser mice.

One lady who transcribes chart notes for me, every morning I give her a big plastic envelope of them. She always has an over dramatic spazz out if its a lot to do. So I took the envelope and shoved it as full as it could go with scrap paper and put just 1 real paper on top to make her think it was all real. She predictably had a near heart attack believing it was all work for her to do. Heehee.

Oh yeah one last thing I forgot. This one portal we have to use, has a captya system (or however its spelled). The web team for it put up a fake one using chinese kanji. If you actually clicked on it to type it took you to the real thing.

Google are great for April Fool's day.

Youtube 1911, click the 1911 button to make any video play like an old silent movie, it even adds captions if the auto CC thing is enabled. And there's this great "viral videos" thing.:



GMail Motion:

Google are hiring "Autocompleters":



CollegeHumor.com says it has been left logged on as Intern22, allowing everyone into an "admin panel" that gives you "access" to their "secret nipslip archives", "cute girl contact info", etc.

I've only just gotten home from work so I've not had time to go around all the various sites yet and see whats up.

I think boingboing.net is faking people out by saying it's going to a subscription-based system. If it's not a joke, then bye bye boingboing :D

We had a guy at work pretend to quit. He wanted me to be in on it, so obviously I took the chance to turn it on him. I had everyone else at work play a long and then we took it to an extreme. We preteneded to launch a campaign to get someone fired so he would stay. We pretended to make a huge scene at work, then the guy who was trying to do the original joke got into a panic thinking he had gone to far. Then we let him on the joke and it was super super funny.

I posted on facebook that my fiance and I broke up yesterday, she is moving out this weekend, and the wedding is off. I said I am taking offers on the ring.

I got a few angry responses telling me I'm a dick. I thought it was funny.
