The foolishness has passed after 8 hours and it is now April 2nd. Actually i totally forgot that yesterday was April Fools Day. While in Sabah I did mention that i wanted to play a prank on a friend.. but i think that idea kinda fizzled out. It takes a lot of effort and work to pull a prank, okay!?

Instead I was reminded that it was April Fools Day by checking out my twitter. Larissa Meek had shared a bunch of hilarious April Fools Jokes that were found online and not to mention created by popular names known on the web. You can see her original post here.

Among the April Fools that I found funny were the following:

1. Youtube got into the feel of the funny bone by turning everything on their site upside down… If this were not a joke I would’ve been complaining like mad to someone. See everything topsy turvy

2. Opera Face Gestures. This is my particularly my favourite joke. You’ve heard of mouse gestures like the ones you have on a PDA or even the mouse gestures for your firefox basically to give commands for an action like going back or forward on the web browsers. Opera came up with face gestures which is a hilarious if you were to think of how we would be pulling faces to give commands to our browser.

If that’s not funny enough why not view their youtube video on how it’s done.

3. Another one that tickled my fancy was the joke by Google. Under their ‘labs’ a new feature was introduced. Which is the Gmail Autopilot, an email application that will automatically answer your emails for those of us who are either too busy or too lazy. If ever i wanted to break up with someone.. i’ll let the gmail autopilot handle it for me.

4. And for anyone who is into torrents you should know the famous PirateBay. Well apparently Warner Brothers has bought out the torrent site! See their love for one another despite their copyright-ing differences This image was originally shown on their main homepage on April 1. But it’s been taken down now.

Not too bad for popular online names to join in the pranks.
