Readers Respond: Your Favorite April Fool's Day Jokes
Responses: 9

By , About.com Guide

I love Google April Fool's Day jokes. There's always something fun on the main page, and often there's more fun at individual services. My favorite joke has always been the 2004 release of Gmail, since it wasn't a joke, but the features and service they offered at the time made it seem like they had to be kidding.

So what was your favorite April Fool's Day joke? Did it fool anyone? Share Your Favorite

Mentaplex is just mad and some of the error messages are mad like the multiple brain wave or analog brain wave.

3 Year Charge for Services.

Google now charges for FREE Earth services in the US while Europe gets theirs for free. They even give a reduced rate for those willing to pay. Except the reduction is only good if you pay to a US source - all others are through the UK.
