This year's April 1st celebrations weren't as good as last year's.
Google introduced TiSP, which had its moments (especially the 'file not found' page, which took an amusing stab at a certain class of physicists). Google.uk introduced GMail Motion. (This does remind me, though, that Google announced GMail for real on a previous April 1st.) Do any of you know whether Google did anything in other countries?
Tor introduced new fantasy game, and I gave a talk on "Synchronization of Cows" (several people needed to be assured that that is in fact real).
(Tip of the cap to Puck Rombach and Justin Howell.)
Update (4/2/11): CNN.com has an article with some pranking highlights of April 1st.
