/dev/afj08 - Store your April Fools URLs here

This is just meant to be a general collector for all the various April Fools gags. If history is any measure, most of them won't deserve their own topic, but I figure a collection of the URLs in one place would make perusing the list easier.

So... Comment away!

The Python community celebrated April Fools' Day, too (even though they were rather easy to figure out, I liked them for their creativity):

"Trying to get PyPy to run on Python 3.0" <http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2008/04/trying-to-get-pypy-to-r...; If you followed PyPy's politics in the last few months, the headline's already yelling "APRIL FOOL" at you. I liked the "Automatic Program Reversion on Intermediate Languages" (APRIL). ;-)

"psychotic -- Pure Python code optimizer" <http://code.google.com/p/psychotic/>; The source is definitively worth a view.

There's a good list at http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/01/build-your-very-own-goo...

Yay for random contests + me staying up late to win them :)

If only I had a printer in my hotel room, I would've given you a run for your money on the distance prize :)

I'll start with the yearly ThinkGeek entry, some cool ideas this year: http://www.thinkgeek.com/

The Betamax to HD-DVD converter is brilliant.
