Because I don't think everyone reading this is also reading debgeisler's journal (although you should), here's a link to the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time.

Thanks to fine hoaxes like these, no sane person will issue a legitimate news story on the first day of April. Every now and then, I've see groups in Fandom forget the date and issue a real announcement that day. Sometimes the announcements are so odd that people assume that they must be hoaxes.

Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30th. (27 years ago today.) Anybody who didn't get the news for a couple of days might have been very confused.
