    Everyone should post all the great April fools they find today.

    My contribution is this. Google Mail ...a free search-based webmail service with a storage capacity of up to eight billion bits of information, the equivalent of 500,000 pages of email. Per user.

    No, the major news agencies are obviously in on the joke. It always happens. Somethings you really have to just wait till April 2nd to find out what was real.

    Unless Google are playing a great aprils fools joke and pulling the wool over everyones eyes.

    I played a good joke on a lad I work with earlier. I got an app that opens your CD-Rom drive. Changed his internet explorer shortcut to the app so everytime he launched internet explorer his cd-rom opened. Was funny!

    In my mates irish class they told the teacher that one of the guys that was absent got hit by a bus(really the guy is out with the flu) and she fell for it.But she took it too seriously and had a minute silence for him and during the silence one of the students start laughing and she took up his journal and wrote a note saying "Laughing at a seriously injuerd boy".And they are gonna keep this sh¦t going until the guy comes back in.
