April Fools Day

So it’s April Fools today. Here’s some of the pranks I’ve seen throughout the course of the day (note: post will be updated as more stuff gets seen):

Inverted Chairs

Everyone knows that the Computing Science Common Room is one of the best places to hang around thanks to the comfy couches. I walk in today after getting my morning coffee at Renaissance to see that our beloved couches were inverted so you cannot sit on them.

Rickroll’d

People entering SFU through B-Lot today found themselves rickroll’d. The guy with the TV set disappeared after an hour or so – maybe he’s going around campus or something.

On the Internet

  • Google and Virgin get together to bring you Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes. They are currently looking for users to colonize Mars. If you are interested, don’t delay and apply today!
  • Viewers who clicked on YouTube’s front page links got themselves rickroll’d by YouTube
  • Allakhazam’s Final Fantasy XI section is known today as Hello Kitty Online with the player of the month as Evil Hello Kitty. (thanks Anto for the link)
  • Curtis makes some changes to his blog. He also has a April Fools post similar to this one.
  • Now if only this was actually a film in production.. I would probably pay to see it.
  • Blizzard delivers this April Fools Day with two announcements:
    • Introducing the Tauren Marine for StarCraft II
    • World of WarCraft introduces the Bard class – “only a true hero can vanquish evil with the power of ROCK!”
