Well, today is April Fools Day, and here’s a roundup of a few April Fools that I’ve noticed:

• The Transport Tycoon Forums: a variety of words mysteriously changed… “the” to “teh”, “with” to “whit”, “TTDPatch” to “OpenTTD”, and others… most people found it quite funny, some found it annoying, some both. 😉
• Also on tt-forums… Darkvater announces that he’s abandoning OpenTTD for Windows – some think this is possibly true, who knows? Guess we’ll see…
• TTDPatch: small easter egg in TTDPatch 2.0.1 alpha 48
• GMail are increasing account sizes to 2GB, maybe more.. mine’s currently at 1561MB (you can see them grow!)
• Age of Empires III Heaven put a video up claiming to be footage from a recent show about the game… I admit this one had me, until I started reading the forum, thought, “hmm, hang on a minute!”, played the bit of video that had already downloaded and discovered it was Magical Trevor!
• Wikipedia have apparently been bought by Encyclopaedia Brittanica… the user-edited page describing the event soon descended into quite estoric madness however!
• The Register reports that Steve Jobs has joined IKEA

That’s a few, anyway… see if you can find any more while you still can. 😉
