Wikipedia Covers April Fool's Hoaxes 129

vladd_rom writes "Wikipedia maintains an up to date list with April Fools hoaxes from this year. The list already includes hundreds of entries. Among the most popular, one could find Google Romance, a new Google.com project, Google Browser, as well as Yahoo!'s desire to buy all Web 2.0 companies on the web. However, it seems that this year hoaxes will be more interconnected: the wiki page already includes some websites that announced that they have been bought by Yahoo!, and linked to Yahoo!'s blog post from their pages."

    Get worse every year and get taken to far to the point where the site is unuable for a day. Have one good joke and thats it, don't screw up the user experience.

    Let's face it, anyone who finds themselves personally antagonized by Slashdot's non-serious antics is an addict. CmdrTaco could stomp on your toes and give you a wedgie and you'd still be coming back.

    Those of us who do not take Slashdot so seriously, however, shall either be amused or indifferent, and very unlikely irked.

    You suffer from the same problems of the Democratic/Republican bases--sure their leaders keep screwing them over, even they're the ones who put them in office, but their unwillingness to vote for someone else is precisely why the voting blocks will always be ignored by those they vote for.

    with that evil color scheme and having to disable the foolish css after every reload or link I quit my fav pretense of being busy entirely.
    Which in fact raised my productivity but looking at the number of comments I feel I wasnt the only one to do so.
    What about taking /. offline next year? April fooling the DNS or something?
