Not exactly a great prank but appropriate to mention it on this site, our local evening paper the london standard I solve the chess puzzle about 95% of the time within a few mins, however white to mate in one I just could not see (it was april fools day). after about an hour!!!!! I had to resort to looking at the answer which was after removing any one of blacks pawns (there were 9 on the board!) there were an option of mates depending on which pawn you removed

The one Rhymester pulled ages ago was hilarious. He confessed that vaknso had left the site ages ago but had left his account to Rhymester. Rhymester had created vaknso's family's accounts and continued the MAP War on about 7 different accounts. This thread went on for about 3 pages before someone realised it was an April Fool.

My girlfriend got me this morning.
The Toronto Transit Commission which runs all the subways and buses in the city have been threatening a strike for about a month. Today was the day that their contract expired. She woke me up this morning and told me that they went on strike and we had no way to get to work (we work together). I was like "Sweet" and turned over and went back to bed. I wake up about 20 minutes later and she's getting dressed. I immediately become suspicious. I turn on the radio to hear any news of the strike. Of course, there's nothing. I ask her, "Are you f--king with me, sweetheart?" She laughed. There was no strike. And now I'm at work reflecting on her cruelty. I miss my bed 🙁
Grrrrr 😠

British folklore linked April Fool's Day to the town of Gotham, the legendary town of fools located in Nottinghamshire. According to the legend, it was traditional in the 13th century for any road that the King travelled over to become public property. The citizens of Gotham, not wishing to lose their main road, spread a false story to stop King John from passing through their town. When the King learned of their deception, he sent a messenger to demand that they explain their actions. But when the messenger arrived in Gotham he found the town was full of lunatics who were engaged in foolish activities such as drowning fish or attempting to cage birds in roofless fences (though, of course, their foolery was all an act). The King fell for the ruse and declared the town too foolish to warrant punishment. And ever since then, April Fool's Day has supposedly commemmorated their trickery.

He told me that he had a huge fight with his girlfriend last night, and he was moving out. He looked very forlorn. But you know what --- HE WAS ONLY JOKING!!! April Fools!!! Ha Ha! Ha.
You may notice bitterness, but a distinct lack of smugness in the above paragraph. This is because I fell for it like a simpleton.
You win this round, "friend".

I find the price rather too cheap. So I ask myself, why is it so cheap? Just how much money is likely to be invested in improving the site and insuring its longevity?
No. Increase subscription charges substantially, I say. Then I will join.
