It's that time of year again 4/1/08 4:16am
When penguins can fly!

As much as April fools japery can be irritating that was pretty nicely put together, plus the BBC did do a nice job of pretending it was realy by sticking it in their iPlayer thing.

Any other decent hoaxes knocking about or is it just the usual less than subtle annoyances that contribute to make April 1st so 'wacky' and 'fun.'

I can't stand the internet today. Oh no, K-Mart is buying Valve. Bill Gates is now the president of Sony. Halo 4 features Master Cheif's epic adventure to cure Cortana's AIDS she was infected with by the Flood, because secret revealed the Flood are really mutated gay sperm. Shut up, it's not funny, and now I can't trust ANY news I read today.

Heh, I think it was Google; last year they launched an entire site to promote internet connection through the sewer system :P

They even showed schematics of how to connect your router to the toilet.

I avoid being scammed this time of year by not reading any news sites. I usually avoid people too...

Black Mesa has a pretty silly joke on their news page.

Well, maybe if EA did buy them it would get released already. At this point I wish the HL:Steam retexturing project didn't close because of Black Mesa.

I was all excited, then saw that this is not released either.

It seems like pretending to be bought by EA is the in thing this year.

Guitar Hero: Handcramp would kick ass, in all honesty and everyone I know wants just Guitar Hero to involve actual guitar heroing.

Ah, V3rbal; nice to see your mastery of the English language is as good as ever.
