This is the best april fools joke I've seen so far. The most believable one, that is.

The best one would have to be reddit's admin free for all




This one made me do a triple take.

First I thought it had to be some crazy guy (holding in my heart, of course, that 1x10^-20 chance that it was a real time traveler).

Then I remembered the day and realized this must have been the guy's idea of an April Fool's joke.

Then I remembered I was reading something on the Internet on this day, and that the story itself had to be a prank.

Well played, CNet.


Damn. I keep falling for it.


I felt for it until I did a google search to see: one single news item.

Maybe that kind of reflex will be useful when some botnet makes an attack on the nytimes or the wsj.

(who knows, to mess with the stock exchanges or something, just throwing ideas here)


time travel is the most believable aprial fools joke you have read? zz....


No, the story is someone _claimed_ to be a time traveller.
