Top Ten 2013 April Fool News From The Web. by onegig(m): 11:06am On Apr 01, 2013
As you all know today is April fool and yours truly is bringing you the top ten funniest April fool jokes from the web.

1. Google has come up with a number of April fools today, from turning Google Maps into a pirate treasure map to announcing that YouTube has been an eight-year competition to choose the best video of all time, and the site is now ready to shut down and announce the winner.

But my favourite is Google Nose, which provides smells for whatever you type into the search engine – just “bring your nose as close as you can to the screen and press Enter".

2. Arsenal set to end trophy drought with 'exceptional achievement' award
The FA is to reward the Gunners for reaching Europe's most lucrative competition for 16 consecutive seasons, while Ivan Gazidis promises to increase ticket prices by 10 per cent

3. Many Times readers are certain that the paper's article "Nasa's cunning plan to bag an asteroid" is an April fool. The piece starts:

Nasa is planning a $2.6 billion robotic mission to catch an asteroid in a giant bag and tow it to the Moon as part of a long-term programme that could one day lead to the permanent settlement of humans in space.

4. Twitter has announced, in an almost plausible spoof, that it will now be charging tweeters to use vowels. Consonants are free, and in addition, the social network explains, it will always offer Y for nothing, even when it is used as a vowel. That's led some users to believe they can outwit Twitter ...


5. The Daily Mirror seems to have two April fools today: the paper writes up Virgin’s announcement that it is introducing a “glass-bottomed plane” for its new route to Scotland. Couldn’t happen, point out some po-faced readers on the Virgin website:

"its not possible. because there are core components in the base of the aircraft. and beside that glass can not handle the loads. they can use some sort of camera in the base that transfers real time images to the cabin Floor."

6. No April fools’ day is complete without Guardian newspaper or website tricking it readers with some outrageous story much too unbelievable to be true. Take today’s Guardian, for example, which reports that North Korea's 30-year-old leader Kim Jong-un has got his generals together for a photo op in which they sit in front of a map picking out US targets for a nuclear strike …
