How come the 360p quality setting has a way better quality than most 480p videos?

I prefer the textp quality, it's far more detailed

Google has a TON of april fools things... Google Books and StreetView in 3D, name change to topeka, vowel shortage on gmail, google wave notifications (guy physically comes up to you and tells you there's a wave update)... text mode renderer for some videos... etc.

Heh yeh, just search for anything on Google and look where it usually tells you how long it took to retrieve the search results.

My favourite: "0.51 times the velocity of an unladen swallow"

heh. i was going to make a fake account and post a C&D order on TAIP :) but it's no longer morning.

yeah I hate how it's limited to morning. I usually wake up in the afternoon so I always miss it :[

Aegis did actually plan something for our own April Fool's prank but he hasn't been online all day ¬_¬

I was going to release a mod completely unrelated to TA but still call it *A. Alas...

FTFY.

Hahaha, one of these days, one of these days. Er, that's misleading, how about "someday, someday". Over the rainbow... or something.

Iamacup already did the C&D thing ( it werent an april fools either, he was just bored), then he got all pissy when a serious discussion about Atari began

hahaha back to the future reference anyone?

Here's another funny April Fool's joke!

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: ÔÇ£ThatÔÇÖs the ugliest baby that IÔÇÖve ever seen. Ugh!ÔÇØ The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: ÔÇ£The driver just insulted me!ÔÇØ The man says: ÔÇ£You go right up there and tell him off ÔÇô go ahead, IÔÇÖll hold your monkey for you.ÔÇØ

xkcd has the biggest win, for me. And wikipedia.

You ruined the joke by adding the monkey picture... that or I've heard it too many times to laugh at it anymore.

also depends on the source video of course

My boss pulled better april fools, making his kids and several guys at work call the local zoo and ask for Mr. Bear.

It's a joke, but not an April Fool's one.

The 1st of april is about pulling prank on people. Not about telling jokes.

The canonical April's Fool joke is about being sticking paper fish behind people's back without them noticing, but any kind of pratical joke will do. But it has to involved tricking people into doing, or believing, stupid things, in such a way as to make them appear as fool. Simply telling them a funny story won't cut it.

I'm unsure why I have to explain that...

Many times on April Fools day over here a lot of people run around telling groanable, silly jokes instead of actually performing an action. It can get a little bit annoying at times, but occasionally, you'll hear a joke that, for some reason, is funny to you. That would be the reason as to why you had to explain that.

I especially like the monkey joke because I often hear about how people are compared to chimps when speaking in terms of evolution and animal testing. People are more versatile than chimps are.

sinbads genius finally catches on to pandas unfunnyness, who knew.
