Well, it's April fools time again. Most of these are pretty funny, some are lame - but anyways here is my list of the main April fools jokes from around the internet:

• YouTube - All front page videos redirecting to rickrolls.
• TechCrunch - Suing Facebook for $25 Million
• CenterNetworks - Robert Scoble starts Ice Cream Library TV
• JohnChow - John gets his own soft drink. "The official blogger drink"
• Google Austrailia - Searching internet content before it is created, or "future search" (I found this one to be *too* unbelievable)
• Gmail - Gmail custom time. Send emails to the past. (Google LOVES time-based jokes)
• Google & Virgin - A collaborative effort to establish a human colony on Mars.
• The Pirate Bay - Copyright law changes force servers to be moved to the Egyptian desert
• ProBlogger - A pay-per-twitter service.
• CollegeHumor - Purchased by a MySpace teens parents, redirects to "her" profile.
• ShoeMoney - Make 1,000.00 in 1 hour
• Aviary - Photo editing time machine - magically transform photos to the past or future! (YouTube vid)

I think the TechCrunch one had me going for the longest, it was pretty well done. Aviary also gets mad props for putting so much time into a pretty funny YouTube video, plus almost every major blogging outlet wrote about it (even though they all knew it was a joke, it definitely got major free press).

If you know of anymore that aren't on this list let me know in the comments.
