„I declared victory and made a decision. After asking many people about how to best do this video capture/DVD burning thing, decided to go for what they suggested.“

„Note to Slashdot, BoingBoing, Engadget, and nearly every other tech blog: Running fake stories for April Fool's Day might seem funny to you, but none of these stories were actually all that funny . Worse, they had the unfortunate side effect of making every single thing you posted that day, including Gmail announcements, completely suspect.“http://dylan.tweney.com/weblog/000474.html - Cached

„UPDATE: I think it's possible that it's not a joke, but that Google deliberately chose April Fool's Day as the release date, and deliberately issued an odd press release, in order to stoke confusion and discussion -- and thus, attention. Google and GMail are going to be a very popular topic of water-cooler discussion all day today and tomorrow (overshadowing even Amy Adams 's surprise exit from American Idol last night) as people try to figure out what the hell is going on. You can't buy publicity like this (well, unless you make a movie about Jesus).“http://www.brendanloy.com/blog/archives/ 013046.html - Cached

„Not even 'I read this guy's blog and he says it's not an April Fool's joke' real. Well, maybe for you, gentle reader, it's exactly that real, but for me it's 'I came to work for Google and got handed a dream assignment to design the UI for a product that's going to change the world' real, and now I'm thrilled that my best kept secret was kept so well that even my close friends took the 'it's gotta be a joke' path yesterday.“http://www.brendanloy.com/blog/archives/ 013055.html - Cached

„The Microsoft home page says nothing about the take over, although a Microsoft like "press release" at http://dmoz.org/April-01-2002_GOD_PR.html noted that the "MSN network of Internet services, with more than 270 billion unique reboots worldwide, today announced the addition of the Gates Open Directory (GOD), formerly known as the Open Directory Project." Aha, the ODP is not to be known as the MDP, after all, but GOD no less!“http://www.pandia.com/sw-2002/11-god.html - Cached
„The in-person April Fool's joke ends mercifully quickly. The in-print one doesn't offer the immediate relief of someone assuring you he was only joking after all. Ken MacLeod e-mailed his congratulations on fooling him for a solid ten minutes - just exactly what I would have hoped for, but calibrating that precise level of bamboozlement across a few thousand-odd readers is, of course, impossible.“http://www.highclearing.com/archivesuo/ week_2004_03_28.html - Cached
„"This is a proud moment for the team," Chairman Arafat declared, flashing his trademark toothless grin and a "V" for victory hand sign. "We remained on defense the entire game, and took everything they could throw at us. We consider it a win comparable to Saddam Hussein's victory in the Gulf war."“http://www.scrappleface.com/MT/archives/ 000288.html - Cached

„Seventy soldiers have died since the president declared victory on May 1-half as many as died before May 1. There is whispering on the streets, in the Capitol, on the Internet, in the editorial pages. When should we start using the 'Q' word?“http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/archive/scoop/stories/f0/.../ 200307080900.8c06f876.html - Cached
„In addition, where the Observatory traditionally counted seconds in "pips," it would now count them in "pint drips." The Financial Times, not realizing that the release was a joke, declared that Guinness was setting a "brash tone for the millennium." When the Financial Times learned that it had fallen for a joke, it printed a curt retraction, stating that the news it had disclosed "was apparently intended as part of an April 1 spoof."“http://www.internettime.com/jayblog/archives/ 000885.html - Cached

„There is no "Pilar Pendeja."She was originally called "Pilar Lofo," but some clever lads atalt.atheism soon figured out that "Pilar Lofo" was an anagram for"April Fool." So, we changed her name to Pendeja, which resulted instatements of shocked outrage by some. For example, creationistRussell Humphreys remarked "The last name of the girl 'Stefan'mentions, 'Pilar Pendeha,' is a Spanish obscenity. No New Mexicanfamily would have that last name, and there is nothing close to thatlast name in the Albuquerque phone book with which 'Stefan' couldhave confused it." Humphreys correctly assumed Stefan's story wasfictitious, although he made this assessment "without seeing thepictures." However, "pendeja," is only mildly "obscene," being usedby many a devout Christian with a wink when among friends.“http://www.nmsr.org/april_fool.html - Cached
