April Fools Pranks on the Web
« on: April 01, 2005, 09:57:44 AM »
You guys can, but I'm not going to do any "switching" comics.

Little Gamers did the most amusing thing they've done recently though (which wasn't hard, considering).
It's not a prank, but Penny Arcade did a funny april fools related comic. edit: forgot the standard PA warning about language and violence.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
