What? You never heard of Smarch? :)

Today is of course (unless you have one of those rare misprinted calendars) April Fool's Day. And that means elaborate pranks and fake announcements and news stories. Such as the one you see when you log into GMail today. It also means some really bad ideas for gags, some really tepid ones (the "Smallville is relaunching with a new title" one at Superman Homepage was funnier last year), and a few inspired ones.

So as a public service, I hereby offer a handy-dandy Wikipedia page. Scroll to the bottom for a link to a list of April Fool's Day 2008 gags already unleashed on the world.

Now, if you will excuse me, I must be going. And I better take an umbrella. Lousy Smarch weather.

ETA: I would be remiss if I didn't invoke my all time favorite gag, George Plimpton's profile of the legendary New York Met propsect, Sidd Finch. Sidd, we hardly knew ye.
