Title: April Fools~ (2014)
Post by: Merc on April 01, 2014, 01:17:19 AM
Because we all want something to laugh about this year... Link to any interesting April Fools stuff going on this year!

Starting us off, google maps has started the pokemon challenge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YMD6xELI_k) for their mobile apps. Around the world, in any number of random places, you'll be able to find pokemon hiding in your favorite cities, monuments, and tourist attractions. It's not something that'll fool anybody obviously, but it was cute to hunt for pokemon for a bit, and seeing if one found any near their hometown (I actually did find one in Houston!).
