Here's a couple:
Flying penguins (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/01/npenguin101.xml)
Hot property (http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property/20394782)
:laugh4:
ps - Wikipedia's worth a visit today, as well ~D
See the XFire thread, few posted in there.
:laugh4: at those though.
Also, here on the radio a man phoned up to say they were adding license plates to the roofs of cars because its easier for police to see them. The outrage that ensued was hilarious. People really didn't realise it's April Fools.

A nice one from a pirate site:

(note to mods: this is a link to a blog, not the pirate site)
EDIT: another one; http://www.beisfjord.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/lg_mpaa.jpg
You can always count on Google for a couple of good ones (http://books.google.com/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp). The Gmail team has an amusing new feature (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html).

Click on one of the featured videos at youtube.
CR
Thinkgeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/) has some interesting new items for sale.
Google has also partnered with Virgin to colonize Mars (http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html).
Slashdot has been playing the straight man today. It's causing confusion, a lot of posters don't know what to trust. ~D
I'm still hopeful they spring OMG!PONIES!1!! at some point.

Blizzard launches a new game (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/moltencore/) (brilliant trailer in there) and gives the final proof (http://www.starcraft2.com/features/terran/taurenmarine.xml) that starcraft and warcraft is in the same universe.
And Absolut Ice Vodka (http://www.kuriren.nu/nyheter/artikel.aspx?articleid=3433979) is launched, a new Absolut product, whose bottles are made of ice (in Swedish :book: ).

Hmm... how about the fact that it snowed here in the morning? And now suddenly very nice? Mother nature, what next?

I know this is rather late, but these are worth sharing. Anyone who's an office worker should be taking out a pen and notepad right now.
Great office prank! (https://youtube.com/watch?v=q0XdthbOkMU)

I have an actual story my friends did to their house mate.
So they usually keep Brita filtered water (water run through a purifier) in the refrigerator.
Well on April 1 they replaced the water with vodka without, of course, telling my one house mate about it.
Apparently it was :laugh4:

Apparently IGN spent a ton of money creating a realistic Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer. Its a shame since I just can't manage to see it
Edit:
Here is the Link (http://movies.ign.com/articles/863/863492p1.html) Trailer's quality is actually pretty good. It actually seems pretty plausible as a real movie
