I really liked collegehumor.com's joke.

instead of loading their homepage it goes to a rather official looking government site for the Department of Defense.

thank you"


LOL it was something like that

after about 10 seconds it goes to their home page "APRIL FOOL!!"

AH, that would be fun, but with this crowd, if I did a joke like that, about half of them would have pulled the plug on their PC and thrown it into the river before they could see it was a scam.
