Google, a search engine with a sense of humor, has set up at least two April Fools' Day jokes today.
For one, Google is playing with the world's love of Helvetica and hate of Comic Sans fonts. (I'm generalizing and editorializing here.) If you search for "Helvetica" in Google, the results show up in Comic Sans. OK, maybe not everyone will find that as hilarious as those of us who've worked in typography will, but maybe it'll at least make your eyeballs smile this morning.
Helvetica is an often-used sans-serif font. It's the kind of typeface you might use in a letter or on your resume. Comic Sans, on the other hand, is a circus-poster-looking font that you might use if you're 6 years old.
Also, Google says it's offering "Gmail Motion," a body-controlled email program. Check out the video; it might not be a bad idea to get folks moving while they're tied to their desks all day.
Oh, and the weather report for today wasn't a joke -- it really did snow in parts of central Pennsylvania this morning, though not nearly as much as it did in New England. Let's hope Mother Nature is done fooling around with spring now, however.
The Patriot-News' contribution to the pseudo holiday is an April Fools' Day editorial (sorry to spoil the surprise) about how great it would be never to tax Marcellus shale drilling companies. It's no joke that some almost certainly agree.
Did you pull any great pranks today? Tell us about them in the comments below.
