I’m on the ThinkGeek mailing list. This morning, I sat down to read my email bef0re work (and coffee), and opened the latest ThinkGeek email.
“Liar’s paradox shirt? That’s okay. I’m not sure I’d buy one for myself…”
“2001 monolith action figure? 0 points of articulation? Do want.”
“Screaming chef’s knife? Interesting, but it’s probably a low-quality knife.”
“Tribbles ‘n’ Bits cereal? Ha.”
“Dharma Initiative alarm clock? Wait a minute…”
XKCD today is also geeky cool. (Edited to add 3: Our great and good friend Commvault Bryan points out that this XKCD is relevant to today’s prank.)
I’ll add to this post as I find more April Fool’s day stuff. If you’ve found something funny or interesting, please feel free to mention it in the comments.
Edited to add: This site appears to be reporting that Apple has purchased Dell. However, this is a French site, and I don’t speak their crazy moon language.
Edited to add 2: Locus Online has their April Fool pieces up. Certain writers may be familiar to some of you. (Edited to add 7: One of the Locus Online pieces gets praise on the Reason “Hit and Run” blog.)
Edited to add 4: Whole Foods Market action figures. Also, the “Don’t Eat That!” iPhone app, and featured recipes. The “Deep-fried Bacon-wrapped Bacon with Bacon Bits” sounds tasty.
Edited to add 5: My great and good friend Glen has a good one on his site. The “Lady GaGa” indeed.
Edited to add 6: PC World‘s Top Ten list. (Hattip: Mom.)
Lowering the Bar explains why they don’t have an April Fool’s Day post.
Edited to add 8: Dinosaur Comics deploys a very clever hack (see the newspost for details) that allows you to read the comic in the style of Penny Arcade. Or XKCD. Or Achewood.
