In case you missed it, yesterday was April Fool's Day. We completely forgot about it, but Google went hog wild, launching both Gmail Paper and the TiSP in-home wireless access system on a slightly suspicious public.

Elsewhere on the internet, UK newspaper The Independent covered the grow-your-own Viagra craze, the Vista developers' site AeroXperience was changed to a Mac enthusiasts forum for the day, The Pirate Bay website announced its intention to move its servers to the North Korean Embassy in Stockholm, and overclockers.com.au redirected all visitors to a random cat-related page.

We particularly liked this announcement of the merger between Microsoft and McDonalds (mission statement: "Crap software for fat people"), and these practical jokes for any annoyingly smug Mac users in your life. CNet's elaborate fake-news homepage for news.com.com is well worth 10 minutes of your day (it looks like you're working, too).

An exhaustive list of almost 600 internet pranks perpetrated yesterday can be found here; the top 100 April Fools Day hoaxes of all time are here.

Did any of our local Sunday papers run any practical jokes yesterday?
