April fools I wanted the most: - NSA announcing they were dropping all illegal activities, - Water allowed on board of planes, - ISIS converting to Christianity, - Apple patenting the patent, - Snapchat releasing a payment system Note that April Fools is on December 28th in Spannish culture. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day#Comparable...

Water isn't allowed on board planes? I usually bring an empty nalgene through security and then fill it in one of the many water fountains in the terminals. Works well!

Water is allowed on planes. Obviously, since water (and many other refreshments) are served on planes. Liquids are not allowed going through security, but as you say, it's easy to refill your water bottle once you get through security.

https://www.smore.com/clippy-js I then uploaded the result to the gh-pages branch of a Git Repo as I felt this would trick the average user into thinking that the code was a genuine GitHub Project. Happy April the 1st :) -->

The "Clone in desktop" button gave it away as fake - I'm assuming it's a windows plugin for browsers or something, but I'd never seen that on github before.

It is present for those using Github for Window/Mac whereby you can clone a repo by clicking that button.
