Ok, these are good...

Here are some clever April Fool's spoofs.

(as judged by notoriety, absurdity, and number of people duped)

#5: San Serriffe

Its two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica.

#7: Alabama Changes the Value of Pi

Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0.

#8: The Left-Handed Whopper

According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers.
