april fools day web pranks (add your finds)

These types of stunts were more amusing before they started talking about them on the news the day before. The Think Geek one, for instance, I heard about on the news yesterday. If not for that, it might have actually garnered a chuckle.
 
This product at thinkgeeks is GREAT!
SkyTag? - Green Laser Aircraft Tracker
We've always been enamored of the green laser pointer here at ThinkGeek. The way it looks, the way it points, that mesmerizing green beam it projects. But we became tired of pointing such an advanced piece of physics on the white board, or using it to mess with cats and dogs. That's why we created SkyTag?, the world's first GPS green laser pointer mounted in a motorized base that allows you to track and tag aircraft at your own convenience!
 
Hey, speaking of google (googlegulp above)

Google doesn't have a different look to it today... just the same boring page.. no court jester or anything like that.
Slacking off at the google headquarters???

Dude, it's like you've never even heard of viral marketing.
