It's that time of the year again, when the internet pranks everyone else. Some are clever, some are stupid, and many people find out that others lack a sense of humor.

I've heard mentions that somewhere, "conformation" of MGS5 is another prank.

...oh right, I need to stay off the fucking Internet tomorrow.

...you know, it would actually be pretty fucking great if Conficker (itself a pretty great April Fool's joke) really did bring the entire Internet to a screeching halt until this stupidass holiday was over.

...of course, banal websites now make April Fool's jokes from mid-February through mid-May.

From Wizards of the Coast: a preview of an upcoming legendary Magic card, a preview of a Player's Handbook 3 class, and a free dungeon delve.

Possibly, but Leeroy Jenkins?

I've always held that the only thing holding escapist on the internet is the popularity of Yahtzee, and even then that's showing some signs of wear & tear.

Won't be very understandable if you're not reading the plot, but I lol'd at "You have to get dead NOW"

OCR's is simple at first, complex underneath, as last time - each link on there goes somewhere else. Your humor may vary, but I found myself laughing hilariously at "Chedda's Bling Blog" (Click Consolidation Loans) and the "Marvel vs Capcom 2 HD Remix soundtrack Track" (Under popular categories)
