April fools!

As most of you might know last night was the 1st of April. Some more or less entertaining jokes was spread over the web last night and most likely 90 % of what you read was pure bollocks. Some personal favourites of ours are Adrian’s Rojak Pot’s review and pictures of a dual core ATI X800Pro Ultra 2x, that AMD enters the graphica card market and Google Gulp. The list is very, very long and I don’t mind if you fill in the gaps.

For those of you who are longing for more April fools jokes we can recommend Museum of Hoaxes that lists the 100 best April fools ever. There you can get a good laugh at jokes through the ages.

“#3 Instant Color TV

In 1962 there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station’s technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Stensson then proceeded to demonstrate the process. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, out of the population of seven million, were taken in. Actual color tv transmission only commenced in Sweden on April 1, 1970.”

I hope yesterday gave you some laughs and that you weren’t fool too many times.
