"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year." - Mark Twain

April Fool's traditions are many and varied. Wherever and whenever the custom began, it has since evolved its own lore and set of unofficial rules. Superstition has it that the pranking period expires at noon on the 1st of April and any jokes attempted after that time will call bad luck down onto the head of the perpetrator. Additionally, those who fail to respond with good humor to tricks played upon them are said to attract bad luck to themselves.

From Canadian Member of Parliament Shiela Copps saying that the Canada Clock was going digital in the House of Commons, to the BBC reporting that there would be a bumper crop from the spaghetti harvest in Switzerland this year. It's all in good fun.

We hope you have been able to enjoy our joke, and appreciate it for being just that. We now return the world as it was and wish you all the best, and with the knowledge that this will be the last change to multiplay that you will see in a long while.
