I liked the Joey Skaggs one, a non-existent April fools
parade with police floats "portraying themes of brutality, corruption and
incompetence."

--- F R E N D Z of martian --- Did anyone get
any good April fool jokes/sites?
I got one about shutting the internet
down for essential maintenance. Oh and the one about Apache webserver
running on a Palmpilot.
This: http://www.minidisc.org/mz-r110pda.htm
has also appeared; since it was posted on April 1 some have claimed it's an
April fool, but it seems completely feasible: a Minidisc recorder with
PalmOs in it, MP3 compatible. The 8Mb RAM beats the pants off my Palm V,
but slot in a blank MiniDisc for 140Mb of storage (if you don't use one of
these devices you might not realise how *much* that is for a PalmOs device
- although if the main use is MP3 I guess you'd use that up fast
enough).
Haven't x-checked the Sony site yet
tho
