In order to provide the most expansive coverage possible, the convergence program has implanted tiny base stations into thousands of pigeons. “These birds thrive in diverse habitats, from dense cities to unpopulated regions,” says Peter Rauber, director of engineering. “They carry with them a dynamic network as they flock and migrate.” But the birds needed certain improvements to ensure goals were met and safeguarded. According to Rauber, this is where true convergence enters the equation

In New Zealand, a local radio station announced that the government had given everyone earning over 50k a year 5 thousand dollars into their bank accounts as part of their stimulus package to improve the economy! Alot of people were fooled by it.

The wolf pigeon looks a bit like Holland
A nice one I remember from a few years back was that the nice big (and sexy) H&M posters from bus stops where free to collect from the local bus depot, the queues where so long, a lot of people fell for that one.

I got my boss good. Fortunately for me I was working the night before April fools, so I had the perfect oppurtunity because my boss was working the very next morning. I work at a gaming arcade where all the games are very very expensive both to buy and to repair.
So I wrote a note to my boss saying that during the evening a game had a problem and I so I went to fix it and found several plugs not plugged in. I then wrote that I plugged them in where I thought they were supposed to go, but was wrong and I had caused an electrical explosion.
I wrote that it had ruined the game and I had burned my arm quite badly and that he should go and see to the game immediately.
He then went to have a look inside the game only to find my note saying "April Fools". He told me I got him extremely worried! Heh heh...

I got sent a fake lottery scratch card. For a short while I thought I won £10,000.
Oli, I was so embarrassed, it was unbearable.
What makes it worse is, yesterday was my birthday and you would have thought I'd be aware of things like this by now but hell no, I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
