April Fools Day

Posted on 04.01.04. Tagged with , , All

Wow, I never really noticed anything happening on April Fools Day before but this year seems to be making up for lost time. My school newspaper wrote an article declaring a retroactive tuition hike and that students would be forced to pay $400+ before they could register for next years classes. I actually believed it until I saw the weather on the front page said it would snow today!

Then theres fark.com, homestarrunner.com, google's gmail (which im convinced is just an april fool's joke because nobody can afford to offer 1gb of webmail space), the mezzoblue.com/stopdesign.com fiasco, the new video ipod, and mark pilgrim's press release.

Yeah, okay okay I hear you, I'm going back to studying, jeez.

GMail isn't a hoax.

"A Google spokesman confirmed that the free e-mail offering is not a hoax. Boese, of the Museum of Hoaxes, said the e-mail offering didn't sound like a prank."
