Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).

The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.

Yes, I've been known to partake in some. Was sitting in the front seat of a bus, and the buses have a rule where, at all the train tracks, they're supposed to briefly stop and open the bus doors to see if they hear any train coming before closing the door and driving onward again. The bus had stopped to do just that, and at that very moment, I played a train sound effect I had ready on my phone. The bus driver looks around and is weirded out by the "seeming invisible train".
