April 1st Roundup

I have mixed feelings about April Fools Day.  On one hand, it's quite nice to have a bit of levity and a lot of the silly stories are quite amusing, on the other hand, a lot of people don't actually know how to be funny. 

Still, there were some good 'uns. 

From the BBC - Flying penguins.  Cute.  I want it to be true!

From Thinkgeek - a Betamax to HD DVD converter.

Virgin and Google to set up a base on Mars.  (Can't imagine the ping times being that good).

It's a busy time for Google since they plan to add time travel capabilities to Gmail.

For inspiration for next year - some harmless geek pranks.

And finally - from the BBC again, 10 stories that actually aren't April fools

The pengiuns is my favourite one so far! :)

I would actually find a Betamax to DVD machine extremely useful *ducks*
