It depends on where you live. In my country there was April 1st, 00:54 when I published those links. On the other hand some of these pranks require some preparation so a few minutes in spare isn't bad option.

Yeah... Who knows if the OP lives in the UK, in Canada or Australia, or in the US?

The links I recommended above collect pranks that you can use April Fools’ Day. I don’t try to make fun of you but I show how you can make fun of someone else. So it isn’t important whether I published my post April 1st or before. As I declared above I posted it a few dozen of minutes after midnight.

Yeah... I think I've already read an article about that (in the "Best Free Stuff" [April 2010] edition of PCWorld). However, I like the pranks in it and in those links. No, I don't care if it is posted tomorrow or now.

You know that one is actually based partly on truth, I remember they had dog translators at one point in Japan I think. They could translate a certain number of different barks, but they require some calibration.

brianL · 04-01-2010, 04:53 AM

Oh yeah, dogs have different barks for different situations, so that is a language.

H_TeXMeX_H · 04-01-2010, 05:03 AM

It won't work with cats tho, they use more body language. Sometimes the meows are slightly different for different things, but you'll miss out if you just use a translator.
