April Fool's Stuff from around the web.

At first I went "WTF?", but then ...

Gmail's new motion-sensitive features.

Anyone else come across anything fun?

My favorites from this one:
"Druid forms are now considered vehicles, allowing one player to ride on the druid’s back while in any form, even their humanoid form."
"Resilience has been made more literal. Players with high resilience no longer take less damage in PvP, but now bounce when dropped."
"In addition, character portraits now have the option to be displayed as a self-taken cellphone picture from in front of a bathroom mirror."

I'm too lazy to do cool embedded link things

Won't do you guys much good if Ilinked to it since it was in Finnish, but we have this history magazine who published an article on their website explaining that arceologists have found evidence in Spain that shows the Mayas actually found Europe sometime in the eighth century, and that their descendants are now demanding ownership of some tracts of land in Spain. I thought that was pretty funny.

Sony and Nintendo freaked a few people out by saying Nintendo had sold Mario to sony.

That would be like Disney selling Mickey Mouse to Warner Brothers.

That would be like Disney selling Mickey Mouse to Warner Brothers.

Or Marvel selling out to Disney, oh wait never mind...

I was sad to see Google didn't really have anything up but after the whole Pac Man thing I guess that is why. Unless they did have something up and I just checked too late >_>

I meant the Google.com home screen. I already saw about the mail. I wanted to see another playable game or picture up.

.... and a whole raft of stuff from the BBC, including a radio DJ being replaced by actor Rob Brydon impersonating him for the entire 2 1/2 show!

The good ol' BBC have a distinguished track record, with their (then flagship) current affairs prog Panorama running a piece in 1957 on the spaghetti harvests - more innocent times, people fell for it hook line & sinker!!
