Woe is the Web: April Fools' Day on the Internet

Astronomy Picture of the Day had a good one:

In a surprising and potentially troubling request, the new space station robot known as Dextre demanded that astronauts refer to it in the future as "Dextre the Magnificent."

I also have to include this opening paragraph from the Wikipedia entry for April Fools' day. It is so elegantly written:

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies and neighbors, or sending them on fools' errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.

Of varying sophistication!

Seems to me that years ago you had an April Fool item that answered questions from readers. When asked why FM radios sometimes pick up noise when the car is stopped at a traffic light, the official response was "Doppler shift." Priceless.

If this was some other publications, apologies to both you and the actual periodical that carried it.
