April Fool's Day 2008

Heh, on the diystompboxes forum (very much like ChiefDelphi with regards to the general helpfulness and demeanor of the users, but for people into making their own electric guitar effects) the admin made it so the word "tube" was replaced with "pipe", "mojo" with "wang", and "Muff" with "fluffy". For those who don't play guitar, a lot of players try to get vacuum tube-style overdrive sounds out of their pedals, mojo parts are parts with an almost mystical reputation for improving tone (specific brands and vintages of capacitors, for example), and the Big Muff Pi is a legendary distortion pedal. It was very funny to read threads about working on pipe amps, getting pipe sounds from your Big Fluffy Pi clone, and such. There was one unintended side effect though, all links to youtube changed to links to youpipe, which obviously didn't work very well.

It started out with actual, genuine errors .. but then, I figured since the forums were down already I'd scare a few people with the reason they were offline.

All of Youtube's "Featured Video's" were "Rick Astley-Never Gonna Give You Up" although they said different things.

There was VG cats today, which I caught right away, GameFaqs was a little wierd, all I found was the Poll of the Day, there was also Dr. McNinja, which you would only get if you've read the current story. And then there's X-Fire's site-wide game name changing that they must have set up several days in advance, because of it's scale.

Also, for today, X-fire's entire site was in 1337 speak. You really had to think before you clicked something! Un1355 u|2 f1u3/\/7 1n 73H 14NGU4G3 0F C0U|2C3!!!!1!
