I wonder that the multi-language news sites including blogherald.com will consider such translation time-rag (publishing time-rag).

The elephant joke was a rage in the 60's and 70's. For April Fools Day we felt this was a worthwhile cause: The SAVE an ELEPHANT joke cause doesn't hurt anyone and makes us laugh a bit. Isn't that the idea behind this day? Share an elephant joke today: http://bit.ly/8H2sj We are sponsoring a SAVE an ELEPHANT joke on Facebook.

It's a pain at one level, but I guess it lets some people let off steam. I've pulled a couple of AFJs in the past but couldn't be bothered to set anything up this year (honest!)

That irritates me, but I expect a couple of days of silliness. I really enjoy the ones that are blatantly a joke. ShoeMoneys one was really good, especially when reading his twitter stream.

Instead of that nowadays it's "If I will post this crap on April 1st no one would beleive it! I will post this day early! Smart me.". I had seen some start as early as March 30. It's about having fun, not about screwing with people heads and feeling good about how wicked you are. Instead of single day of fun it is few days stream of crap (because honestly not much jokes are all that good). It’s all nice if people bothered to stick to the rules.
