So, what April fools have you spotted so far?

Daily Record, story about poranges being grown in Braehead shopping centre?

I can't see the bbc one, it says "only for play in the UK"?

In spain we don't have April fool's, instead it's done on the 28th of December, imagine my surprise the first time I saw the joke stories on TV having no idea it was "December fool's"?

I'm thinking those Google peeps are yanking my chain... ?

Not sure if it's an April fool, as it's been in the press for a few days.

But GMTV now doing a picture of the PG sex change man in Black & white belly holding shot.

The sun newspaper is doing this onehttp://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article983556.ece?

LK Today is doing a miracle cream that melts fat which you would have to be a total thicky to fall for.

I thought the penguins were real. Mr rrr and I got very excited at seeing the clip this morning. I'm disappointed now [V]

Gmtv is stupid, as if we would fall for that!

I think the BBC one is great. It has really amused me.

The times one at least has enough genuine technology etc in it for it to be believable.

The sun one doesn't even try to hide it with "Poisson D#%92Avril Medical Centre in Geneva"

Damn it, I also thought that was real. I was thinking about how dangerous it was for the dogs as they could hurt themselves a lot more frequently.

I really should have paid attention to what day it was when I was watching the news this morning [:I]

One of the papers (mail maybe) has a 'Big Ben goes digital' piece.

The metro had a one page advert for guiness, where the colours were reversed, so a white pint with a black head and "for one day only"

Poor. very poor.

I love the google April fools, they always put in a lot of effort.
