And I don't know if this has been mentioned, but The Daily Express ran a story in todays paper saying that Big Ben was going under repair again, and for the meantime a digital clock would stay in its place.
How sh*t is the Daily Express? That is pathetic

The joke was played several years ago, in fact, by another news agency, causing many to phone in to voice their views that this was a 'disgrace' etc, etc...
I'm trawling through today's Indy trying to find any sign of an April Fool's joke. Several marked as suspect at the moment. I love that BBC iPlayer one though: the flying penguins are excellent.

I'm guessing it came out of iPlayer's marketing budget, and seems to have worked fairly well in getting people to visit the facility (unless they viewed via YouTube).

I think the penguin one on the BBC has to be one of the best done on TV for quite some time - though I'm sure the Daily Mail will be rapping them tomorrow for spending money on an April Fool.

Virgle: http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html is also one of Google's April Fools pranks this year. Richard Branson links up with the founders of Google in order to set up a human colony on Mars.
April Fools joke yes, but realistically it'll happen one day anyway I reckon.
I still think Google's TISP prank from last year was pretty good. Get connected to the Internet by flushing some cable down the toilet.
