There was one in England I heard on the radio about a EU MP from Wales who does not drink who is proposing a law banning pint glass in pubs and instead putting half pint plastic cups. I have not heard if it was actually a Aprils fool, it just sounds like one though.

I believed this one for about 1 minute:
Los Angeles, California, March 31, 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
As many of you may know, the SCALE chairs have been organizing SCALE for
6 years now. We are delighted with how the show has grown and have
enjoyed the countless hours that have gone into the planning and
execution of the event. That effort has resulted in SCALE becoming the
premier grassroots Open Source software show.
However some things are more important than doing something because
it's what you believe in. We have always wanted the very best for the
open source community through SCALE, but more importantly we've wanted
more for the SCALE Chairs.
So we commenced negotiations with IDG several months ago. We feel as
though IDG will bring something to SCALE that has been lacking. Namely,
money to us, the organizers.
We've now completed negotiations with IDG, and are proud to announce
that we've agreed to have IDG purchase the Linux Expo of Southern
California, and its showpiece event, the Southern California Linux Expo.
The contract has been signed; IDG now owns SCALE. While we hope to be
able to influence the direction of SCALE, discussions with IDG indicate
that it will probably be rolled quickly into Linuxworld.
After extensive discussions with the Linux Expo attorneys, we've also
included a clause in the contract to ensure that it expires at 23:59
p.m, on April 1st, 2008.
The best April Fool's jokes are the ones that are actually believable.

It's a little too unbelievable. It also helps if my name is spelled correctly.

From the OpenMoko mailing list:
Dear Community,
A decision has been made _today_ that Openmoko is going to support
Windows mobile. We, the distribution team, want to provide our
customers the maximum freedom in choosing whatever platform they want,
even the close source ones. We will make necessary modifications to
wine, thus enable win mobile on neo.
One specific Openmoko hardware is going to support Windows mobile.
It's the Neo Pocky. A prototype has been made and placed in our
meeting room for quite a while. Please check this url for intro and
photos:
