April Fools

kdemo posted a pic said Sun, Apr 1st 2018 at 5:12am ET

I wanted to find all the cool fools pranks online, but I’m delerious from lack of sleep and I’ve been called a robot so many times that I think I’ve developed Stockholm syndrome toward my robot masters.

So you guys find the fun stuff okay?

Start with the legendary mehrathon prank.

Google put a Where’s Waldo game inside their maps. Just go to the app or website and you’ll see him hiding. Click on him to play.

- @ACraigL - But you added proof. I started playing, but I’m cross eyed from looking at today’s clickface(s).

  Compared to one of those unethically sourced rocks?? Like, what, these are free range, certified dolphin free stones which died of natural causes?

I feel your pain. The frustration is making my eye twitch uncontrollably. I decided to get my random crap fix on eBay this morning and found these sweet license plates for about $5 (shipping included). I am calling them my Captcha Consolation Prize:

ThinkGeek did another product launch: Alien Facehugger Snorkel Mask

You can totally see why some of their joke items become real. Honestly, this is not only good photoshoppery, but why couldn’t it be a thing? I mean, you’d need a way to secure the air hose and stuff, but c’mon, I’d wear that on vacation.

OK so I am sitting in the office writing 3 quizzes, one test and am searching (so far unsuccessfully) my hard drive for something I can’t find that I need to use at 8am Monday (well and trying to also track the forum and missed a face click due to multitasking). So should I put a joke question in each of the quizzes and test and then wish them happy late April Fools Day?

- @mehbee As much as I was tempted I not put a joke question in. If it had been actual April fools day when I gave it, maybe. I have several students with no sense of humor when it comes to things like this.

TeeTurtle has misfit minis. For reals.

https://www.teeturtle.com/products/octofox-mini

(They started years back with underwear as a joke, except the demand ended up being for reals. Eventually, they had underwear custom made for them. And that was before a Rutledge was hired on.)

  They don’t. I finally got around to checking last week.
  
  Which is a shame, because we’re getting more snow today, and I was rather hoping that I would have had a penguin plush for my car.
  
  (Not that ordering one on Thursday would have helped anyways.)

- @narfcake I don’t think that would stop them from using octopussycats. The general cute twisted animal genre is pretty safe from infringement since it’s all over the internets.

Porch Piracy Protection from Man Crates.

A few of the available options:

Swarm of Bees
We’ll surround your package with a cloud of angry bees. By the time the thief hears the buzzing, it’s already too late.

Social Media Shamer
We’ll send a constantly tweeting teen to send soul-crushing posts about any gift thieves that get within 10 feet of your crate. LOL!

Acoustic Guitar Player
He knows every Dave Matthews song, and he’s happy to sing them for a potential porch pirate. Unfortunately, it seems like he’s misplaced his tuner.
