Today is April 1st, AKA April Fools day
And today would not be complete without having a look at what jokes newspapers and internet sites have tried to pull on us
I always try and find the newspaper i get’s April Fool’s story, and today it is If you want to get better – don’t say a little prayer

Wikipedia’s entry for April 1, 2006 has a good list of hoaxes
Some of the best are:

Unconfirmed as it was announced on 31st March, but the new Race in Warcraft is the Wisps!

Racial Traits:
Detonate: Destroys the wisp, dispelling all magical buffs and draining 50 mana from each unit in an area around the wisp.
Gatherer: Skill to herbalism, mining, and skinning increased by 10.
Permanent Death
Treeform: Turns the wisp into a tree for 30 seconds. During this time, spirit is increased by 300. However, the wisp’s chance to dodge or parry axes is reduced by 50%.

The google operating system blog claims Google has launched Google Browser – it’s cross platform and is only 1.68mb download – i won’t spoil it for you what you get
