 | From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor If you look up the world "gullible" in the dictionary, there's a picture of my face. OK, not really. I tried it, and it turned out to be an expression. However, the fact is, I'm the world's greatest audience for an April Fool's joke, because I almost always fall for it. | |
Topeka Changes Its Name to Google, Kansas
Why has Topeka, Kansas (sort of) renamed itself "Google, Kansas -- The Capital City of Fiber?" We'll give you a hint: It has nothing to do with breakfast cereal.
| Google Changes Its Name to Topeka
Google, not to be outdone, has changed its name to Topeka. Even after they change it back, I'm going to use Topeka as a verb. I'll topeka anything I need to know.
| What's Your Favorite Prank?
Mine is definitely 2002's Pigeon Rank, in which Google claimed their results were based on the pecking of highly trained pigeons.
| The Prank That Wasn't: Gmail
Gmail was released on April Fool's Day, causing some people to think it was, in itself, a joke. It wasn't, of course, but some of the contextual advertising is accidentally hilarious.
