April Fools Hoax Thread

It’s always a pain in the ass to try and read Slashdot on April 1st. A couple years ago right after Google Maps had been launch one of their fake articles was that Google’s new satellites were rounding the earth taking pictures and that each time zone would have their picture taken at 11am, so everyone should go outside and hold still or display a message for about 5 minutes so they’d show up on Google Maps.

A few minutes later as I lay on my deck thinking it’ll be sweet when I show up on the map, I realize I’m a dumbass and go inside.
