I hate this holiday, and it's starting early this year. Let's get this **** over with.

Google is fresh out the gate with Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge. Anyone seen anything else around Ye Olde Internet yet?

A sea animal shelter that gets loads of calls each year on April's fools for C. Leeuw (pronounce zee leeuw, or sea lion in Dutch) are having someone on the phone pretending to be a very excited mr C. Leeuw. Kinda lame that they announced it but it's funnier than just telling people they've been fooled I guess.

TILT
Huh, I didn't even think "April Fools" on that one (probably because I saw it last night when it was still March 31st). I just figured it was another dumb *** Google change like demanding my YouTube comments be linked to my Google Plus account with my Google Play reviews.

Poe's Law in action!

What's sad is that that is a perfectly reasonable train of thought, with how Google has been going lately.

Anyways, Blizzard is remaking all of their character models for WoW for the next expansion, in case you guys didn't know, and they are showing them off one at a time.

They decided to show a fake Draenei Female today.

Yoda's wife in a text this morning wrote:
So the school just called. Apparently [Insert Yodaspawn's name here] was dared to run down the hallway only wearing underwear. Worst part he had to yell out I'm free. So anyway. He is on his way home. What should I do with him? Duct tape?


It's nearly believable given my son's recent behavior.

Show text to boss, go home. If it's real, you can deal with the situation. If it isn't, free day off. Win/win.

Jobindex.dk, the largest job listing website in Denmark, posted this job advertisement, allegedly on behalf of the Copenhagen Zoo (Google Translated):

Quote:
Are you fond of animals, and are you also a strong marketing talent who can sell fashion products manufactured by some of the world's most exotic breeds? So join us from the start, when we launch 'Marius' bag collection.

Get Marius to live on hundreds of woman arms
Zoo is undergoing an exciting development, where we are in the process of expanding its core business. Since early 2014 we have continuously put animals aside for other purposes, and you will now have the opportunity to play a key role in our bag collection produced by, among other giraffe, lion and Lar gibbon hitting stores in April. The collection will be sold in leading lifestyle stores as well as at special stalls set in front of the surviving animal cages at the zoo.

Our director, said:
"We hope that the Danes will welcome the new products. Zoo wants to show how exotic animals can be used for anything other than Sunday outings and breeding programs. And we are very pleased that nothing goes to waste when these noble beasts make wooden shoes. " (edit: This translation is hilarious. It's a very literal translation of "to set aside one's clogs", which is an idiom for dying.)

Larger series underway
Over the coming weeks, more products will be released and will among other things include roller suitcases of turtle shells, shoulder bags made ​​of lion shoulders and a larger series of wallets that are both made ​​of - and smells - gnu.

Be the lions marketing king
You get the daily responsibility for the management of marketing which include one marketing consultant and two trained chimpanzees. You will also be responsible for developing, refining and implementing communication strategies and promotional activities, but you're not too proud to take hold with no sewing machine or power saw during peak congested periods.

Ambitious and zoocial marketinghaj

You are probably trained marketing strategist, zookeeper or butcher.
You have experience in managing both people and animals, and your colleagues see you as a bit of a horse whisperer.
You have a commercial mindset and press flair, and you are able to do dead animals into a success story.
As a person you are outgoing and take your good mood to work. It is important that when you press contexts defends the killing of healthy zoo animals wearing the obligatory zebra-striped suits that come with the job. You are also interested fashion and animal happy - but probably more the former than the latter.

Tears... so delicious.

For those who have no clue what's going on.

Wikipedia's "Did you know" and "On this day" sections were all written with very silly headlines to actual stories.

Did you know that that Biden is believed to be an eccentric frozen pink dwarf?

Lol, I almost did. My text back to my wife "Almost told the boss I had to leave". I was walking to the boss's office when I got the "April fools" text.

XKCD is doing an interactive story/comic. You can choose the text for certain panels and even suggest a line for one of the last ones.
