So did anyone see any good April Fools website jokes ?

I thought the choose your own adventure on woot.com was real for a minute. It was early and I didn't think about what day it was yet. Plus I could see them doing some crazy thing like that.

Oh, and I will buy an iCade if ThinkGeek actually makes one. Hopefully they will get enough demand for it like the tauntaun sleeping bag last year.

Yes that does look neat. It reminds me of the coleco mini arcade games. http://www.retrothing.com/2006/03/coleco_pacman_m.html

Oh man, I cobbled a great list together to send to friends and family today of all the geek April Fools items. I'll dig it up and format it for the board. There were some great ones this year, mostly from Google! Sadly, you can't see most of them anymore.

Well, here's one in advance: do any Google search and check out the time it took to do the search. Refresh and enjoy!

And I'm praying you guys saw the TEXT Youtube!

*edit*
And yes, ThinkGeek is my favorite every single year. They must live for April 1st! They even have an archive of all the April Fools items they've ever done - back to 2001, apparently! This year, I totally wanted the Dharma Initiative Clock.
