I thought this might be fun. Report your favourite online April Fools jokes and spoofs.

Here's one that came to me via Twitter:

Tired of slumming it in festival campsites? Sick of the modern trappings of today’s caravans? Well don’t look now, but a ludicrously opulent (and frankly spectacular) alternative has just appeared on the horizon. And there’s room enough for everyone!

Exclusive to Firebox, Tentanic is your first class ticket to camping in style. A 1:2 scale replica of the world’s most famous luxury liner, this easy-to-assemble tent will sleep up to 1000 of your friends. Far grander than the usual flimsy nylon offerings, Tentanic offers a hint of the high life whether you’re bedding down at Glastonbury or halfway up a mountain.

Not sure if it's related to April Fools but google maps has a new option today (or at least in the last day or two since I last used it). Where you can normally choose between map or satellite view, there is now an option for QUEST, what looks to be a 2D game map representation of the real world.

Streetview has been reduced down to 8bit as well. :)
