Following the online reports of what April Fools Day pranks were playing out, I was entertained by a number of well-designed featurettes. Google had two today, Google Nose and Google Treasure Map. Vimeo became Vimeow, a website for all those cat videos you need to see. YouTube announced that by midnight the site was going to stop accepting new videos, and the staff would spend time determining the best video ever uploaded over the past eight years. Then there was George Takei's announcement that he was going to be Jedi Master in the next Star Wars film, Bing toyed with Google... as I said, this was a day to be entertained.

One of my friends posted up a link to a story on Reefbuilders from today, which I believe I was one of the first to read. When my image appeared in the article, I burst out laughing and kept reading. I was labeled a naysayer; Matt's Lightning Clownfish Breeding wasn't going well... if you've not read it yet, here's the link: http://reefbuilders.com/2013/04/01/l...d-marine-fish/

Not only did I love what was being reported, I added a little fuel to the fire with my comment at the base of the article, which was the first one submitted. Apparently, the joke was so good that others were believing it. Which made it all the more funny to me (and Matt). The best part was I never had a clue and completely stumbled upon the story in the first place; I wasn't tagged, no one gave me the heads up... I lucked upon it.
