April Fool's Day Link Roundup

April Fool's Day 2008 has been disappointing so far. No Taco Liberty Bell of 1996, that's for sure. But here are my day's favourites so far:

• Virgle, the Virgin-Google initiative to colonize Mars
• Gmail Custom Time
• The BBC's documentary on flying penguins
• Engadget's magenta response to Deutsche Telekom's douchebag insistence that they own the colour
• YTRickRollsYou! Every YouTube featured video redirects to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. How did I miss this the first time?

For some Washington, DC goodness, there's the opening of the new Slaughterhouse 5 restaurant on H Street NE. Also, don't forget the sexy love poem from Ralph Nader to Hillary. This site has a crappily-formatted good summary of the day's web pranks.
