So far, I've run across Google's
CADIE and
Wikipedia's Main Page.

A news story from ASU's Sustainability Newletter:
TOTAL EMPOWERMENT
New student miracle technology generates clean energy, pays tuition, and provides a livable wage
Students in ASU's School of Sustainability have discovered a ground-breaking new technology for producing clean energy on campus. When fully launched, it will provide free electricity, eliminate all tuition fees, and pay participating students a livable wage. The super-secret system -- which is still under wraps until patent issues are settled -- works by tapping into the vast, but previously under-utilized, "waste" energy generated by everyday student activities, for example, skateboarding, dancing, pencil tapping, laughing, recycling, texting, and deep thinking. Excess energy from these pursuits is captured and then transmitted via a wireless intra-grid where it is converted to commercial-grade electricity for use as needed. "So far we've only tested this technology on the Polytechnic campus," said a student source, "but we see no reason why it can't be scaled up to power entire cities."

It'll just be easier for me to link to
1Up's index of gaming-related April Fools jokes. My favorite one? While
Konami's prank is pretty hilarious, I adore Starcraft 2's new unit:
the Terra-tron!
For the comic geeks out there,
Chris's Invincible Super-Blog has decided to do a parody of itself.
