WTF are you on about with noon? Typically April Fools are played on April 1st and debunked on April 2nd... I guess if you wanna be a purist you could insist on ending it April 1st itself, but surely 23:59 should be fine, in which case we were only like 4 or 5 hours off -- I simply wasn't near a computer sooner...Comment

WTF are you on about with noon? ...
Before noon was always the rule in these parts.April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends and neighbors, or sending them on fools' errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. In some countries, April Fools' jokes (also called "April Fools") are only made before noon on 1 April.[1] It is also widely celebrated on the Internet.
edit: from further in the wiki article:
You got yourselves.In some countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the April 1 tradition requires jokes to be played before midday: if somebody pulls an April Fools' Trick after midday, then the person pulling the trick is actually considered the fool.

Figures. A nation of fools. How appropriate.

Can't say I've heard about the midday rule, and a rule like that is useless on international sites as half the world wouldn't have had a chance to see the joke before it has endedThis space is empty... or is it?Comment
