The often overlooked thing about April Fool’s pranks is that they should be at least remotely believable.
Yes, but this is the first I’ve seen today that I’ve laughed at!
You mean to tell me that GooFoo is not believable?
So you’re telling me that you read through a lot of the April Fool’s jokes and actually believe them? Like Google going to Mars?
I am gunning for XPSP12 still
Come on XP!!!!
looool ..
at 1st i was looking! what is that? FF 7.0!!!!
then i got down the page scrolling till i found out that it was all a joke! looooooooooooool very funny indeed
Makes you wonder whether it will really be able to hold out that long.
The first April Fool’s that I’ve liked today.
¿Firefox 7.0.0.346?
Excellent – made me laugh – best I’ve seen.
Very funny xD.
Death-ray discs, hahaha
First April Fools post I’ve actually laughed at today too. Great post!
Yeah, I decided to replace that with a moon.
Glad you enjoyed it! We were seeing some pretty, well, dumb ones so we tried to come up with something that would make people laugh.
