   I gotta agree with you. I'm so glad April Fools fell on a Saturday this year so all the stupid jokes don't drown out real news.

   I admit, though, I did fall for Coverville's April Fools joke this year.

   Slashdot was good (too bad it's been taken down already), so were the ThinkGeek ones. I actually fell for the Mario mushroom one.

   Waxy.org posted this link, with a pretty complete list:

   Second for the Google Romance. At least it made me chuckle as opposed to roll my eyes.

   I hate reading slashdot on April 1st. One less than funny joke article I can take, but they just don't know when to stop.

   I wasn't aware that the point of April Fools was to be funny. To me the real point is getting people like Stephen Toub all grumpy and maybe laugh at a few people who fall for your prank.

   I think that, and I'm not the originator of this idea, nerds and web-oriented companies should be disallowed from making "April Fools Day" pranks, as they all invariably fail, and only display poorly developed senses-of-humor. I, for one, am embarrassed to be a nerd on 4/1.

   Wikipedia's List is pretty long.

   I agree, Slashdot is ridiculous on April 1st.

    The Mario Mushroom thing was an April Fools joke? I first saw it last Thursday... I was so going to buy one.
