I used to get annoyed on April Fool’s Day. I’m pretty lighthearted and always up for a good prank, but the fact that the jokes all came on the same day and never caught me off guard was well, boring.
The web has changed all that though. Now I’m excited to see what elaborate stories some of my favorite bloggers have concocted. I get some enjoyment from the posts, but its the comments that really get me going. Now instead of avoiding the stories, I make it a point to read them and see who wasn’t in on the joke. My favorite example so far is from Strobist.
Comments like:
Wow, sounds great. But I have tried it several times, without success. Is there a secret to it, or is it just about the times?

Just wondering how you got it working with the Canon 550EX as they have a physical switch as far as I can see.
Thanks

They just make my day.

Well now you’ve gone and ruined it. At the bottom of the post, there is a line that says, sites that link to this post “April Fool’s”.

I feel a little bad about that.
