Default Cool Internet April 1st Hoaxes

Anyone found any yet?

Here's a couple I've found so far:

This forum with the Holden in the main banner.

Do any search in Google, and look at the time it takes for the results, I just had one that said "0.59 times the speed of an unladen sparrow".

Also, a really cool one, go to Youtube, watch any video, and where the quality box is below the video (360p etc) click on "TEXTp", it converts the whole video to show it in ASCII (made out of letters and numbers) - its kinda cool, and apparently everytime you view a video in TEXTp mode it saves them $1 on bandwidth costs LOL.

Wikipedia looks to have a few on their main page, their featured article on Wife Swapping on the main page is written totally different to the genuine article, as well as the "On This Day" section.

I'm still waiting for ThinkGeek (online retailer) to get theirs up, normally every year there's total rubbish products that aren't really possible (once there was a wireless power transmitter, plug one end into a power point and the other into what you wanna power and you don't need a cable anymore), they don't seem to have any up as yet though.
EDIT - looks like they're up there on the right hand side of the page now, www.thinkgeek.com

I know its getting late in the day for it, but since most of the sites that do the jokes I really like are in the USA, most are just starting to hit the net now.

But any you find, share I like a good laugh
