Is this an April Fool's joke, or not? The New York Times (reg. req.) appears to think that it isn't, but it's on this list of online April Fool's jokes.

Does anyone else hate April Fools day? Big corporations get the chance to show how great the sense of humour they haven't got is while every one else gets thier coffee cup glued to thier desk. WTF? Oh well... I'm just grumpy because I want MetaFilter back.

Has anyone every witnessed a really clever/funny fool? (being the one who masterminded the fool automatically disqualifies you from declaring it a good fool...)

As the sysadmin for a really boring law firm, I feel somehow honor bound to wreak some kind of non-CLM technical havoc at work in honor of April Fools (only on those that can handle it, of course). What have you done/had done to you that brought peals of laughter but didn't get anyone fired or indicted?
