Past April Fools Jokes

Once I logged into a DNS setup and replaced everyone's webpage with almost exact copies on a host server I had placed elsewhere. Then I replaced the CNN headline with a large news article that stated there was a suprise award from some Saudi Arabian country - of a multimillion dollar contract to the company I was working for. The article cited the Sheikh as calling this company - "incredibly groovy" and "he couldn't think of any better place to park all his billions of dollars" - needless to say the president of the company got a charge out of that one.

I have, in the past played the usual tricks on people. This year, I am thinking of something different. Something. Big. After all, it was this year that we hacked the US Government and almost got them to be a democracy again. They've fallen back into their usual back-slapping pattern of behavior after healthcare - and the insurance company fat cats and their actuaries are chomping cigars and drinking bourbon with all the senators that think they've killed off the National Health Service. But its still coming. The reforms were a sledgehammer blow to them. A definite hack. 72% of the American people supported reform. They got it in part. My view is - if I can hack that system - why not play an April Fools Joke on a slightly grander scale.

I've already tried to pass off the story that today, a bird flew beneath the ceiling tiles over the server room and dropped this piece of bread into the server array and ... yeah. Ok. Nobody fell for it...

I am trying to visualize the biggest. Best. April Fools Joke. Ever. But who would deserve such a trick to be played on them?

I think you deserve it. A wee test... If I say. "You're going to get what you deserve". What's the first thing that comes to your mind? ....



Good Answer!
