I'm not quite sure why I haven't heard anyone mention April Fools Day in these forums. Is it that you guys don't know about it or choosing to ignore it?...

    i'm really surprised that there haven't been threads started such as:
    'NEWS FLASH! - microsoft to create a linux distro'
    'NEWS FLASH! - surveys reveal that ordinary users prefer kde'
    'NEWS FLASH! - Official: windows is more stable and virus-free than linux'


    sorry, i couldn't resist

    The strange thing is that April Fools day seems to have disappeared ... at least from my point of view. No-one has tried to play any tricks on me. All I did was go out with a good friend and drink too much. Maybe its had its day?

    its just an excuse for chavs to lob eggs at people in my part of britain, though thats more terrorism than joking...
    the furthest ive seen it taken today is the evil colour on the ubuntu forums-"its their new official colours" etc.

    I thought April Fools tricks were meant to be clever. That's too obvious ... and therefore not funny.
