Are you implying we should call him Bobby?

Actually I was, I was afraid I was being too subtle though.

My personal favourite is usually Wikipedia's front page, because of the amount of work that goes into making most of it look like some stupid April Fool's joke while still all being technically correct.

What do you mean?  I must have missed it.  The "on this day" says it's April 2 now.  Still April 1 where I am though.
Here's how it looked. I particularly like the Featured Article.

For me, worst day on the internet is something like April 3rd, where on half the article you are desperately searching for the date to look if they are from today or from the 1st...
Can't people not just put a disclaimer in the headline or on the front of the article when the day is gone?

A ferry service in our region had a prank: they said they had found some Roman coins during some maintenance stuff dated 30 BC, printing date. Do you get it and is it funny?

Because they wouldn't have used Arabic numerals...  ;)

Not sure if that qualifies as an anti-joke. An anti-puzzle maybe?

I get it and it is funny. It's funny because it doesn't interrupt the normal service, and it gives people who get it the chance to giggle at the foolish people who don't get it. I probably wouldn't have got it immediately if I weren't told it was an april fool straight up. It's subtle things like that that are funny (also cling film on the toilet and tying people' shoelaces together.

Actually, it's because they wouldn't have known that Christ would be born in 30 years, so they wouldn't have put 30 BC as the date.
