not that you'd necessarily pull these kinds of pranks, of course, *wink wink*...







there's already a thread on computer specific practical jokes,

though CARS publishing a special Painfully Serious Dell Rumours version was funny last April 1



so what kind of photo documentation of pranks can you come up with?



Note: drunken party guests made to look silly when passed out don't count



Office safe pranks only, please.

    Feel free to set up all the Macs at your home/school/office to point to my site:

    (I am turning into a real site "someday"....for now it's a joke.

    Yup, lot's of phoney announcements at Mac sites. Just thought you should take stories with a large grain of kosher salt.

    I wonder if MOSR could pull a switcheroo and actually post LEGITIMATE information of April 1st since they already post BS every ther day of the year.



    Naaaah.

    Somebody get the sticks and marshmellows! I put my hand behind a dual G5 at chumpUSA yesterday---add another proc and maybe it should come with it's own rotisserie attachment!

    This was a pretty good one...but it came out yesterday, which is kind of cheating.

    In keeping with the tenor of this thread, it has been reported by a typically unreliable source that later today Apple, in an effort to expand its presence beyond the computer field and into the consumer area, will announce the introduction of a new G5 called the Combo. The Combo, as the name implies, will be a combination water-cooled quad G5 computer/espresso maker. The lineup will consist of three models, a 1-cup, 2-cup and top-of-the-line 4-cup. At this point price and bundled coffee have yet to be determined.
