Is "April Fools" any fun anymore?

I mean, we all expect absurdity, don't we? And in the IT-world, where dream connections are made and broken everyday, we all expect to hear crap like "Microsoft purchased 38% shares in the iPhone!" or something silly...can anything be trusted on April 1st? Is the day any fun really?

* I did convince my wife I had a son in another state living with his grandmother. Jacob Riley Sampson was the name I came up with on the spot - I even had a Phone Number for "Nanna & Jacob" to show and all.

So maybe there are exceptions.
