I kind of fell for this one today:
GMTV - Slimming with So-tox

Was watching it this morning and thinking to myself "this can't be real. Surely it's nonsense, you just can't lose that amount of weight in 6 weeks. Why does she look so strange in the before footage, like a skinny girl in a fat suit? But it's on Lorraine Kelly, it must be true. Silver thread!? That's rubbish, these things are always found to be rubbish. What's going on?"

Then when I mentioned it to a colleague I met on the way to the office the first thing she said was "surely it was an april fools".

That's when I started swearing.

It's unfair to do them on breakfast tv.

Here's a techy one :
CIA demands UK halts interrogation tactics | The Register

Good one from Google today:
Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes

They've really spent too much time on this.

Just took the test to see if I could go to mars:
Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes

Quote:
Well, you're distressingly normal and could conceivably adjust to life as a deep space pioneer, though we recommend instead that you leave the Mars missions to the serious whack jobs who scored over 130 and instead finish year 3 of law school, tuck your toddler into bed, design Web 2.0 applications, run for Congress or do whatever other normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road thing you're currently doing with your normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road life. If you're determined to give Virgle a try, though, you can submit your video here.
