The Daily Ping

The Story About Ping was about a duck, not this website.

April Fool’s Day

I’ve never been a part of a really good April Fool’s joke. A few times at work, I replaced the front page of our external web site with a page that said something like “Thanks for visiting, but we’ve had to close up shop.” that only people visiting from the inside would see.

In school, I’d play some harmless pranks on occasion, but never anything really memorable. Maybe that’s why I don’t remember any of them.

How about you? Any truly memorable April Fool’s jokes that you’ve been on the giving or receiving end of?

(By the way, Paul questioned whether or not it’s “April Fool’s” or “April Fools'” — going strictly by a Google search, the latter wins.)

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
