I propose we assemble a committee and have several meetings to formalize the design of the perfect april fools joke.

Any naysayers will be taken out back and shot.

Two peanuts were walking down the street and one was assaulted...peanut.

April Fools!

April Fools, they ROCK!

No, April Fools again, they're dull. Really.

Whoever sent me the Microsoft recruitment letter today...bad taste.

But does anyone else find themselves really, really, wishing the Google/Virgin Mars mission announcement was true?
