April Fools Joke

crazyn3wf · 2011-04-01T15:35:42.000Z

So here is the joke we played on all our staff first thing this morning.

We have a GPO that points all users homepages to google, a quick DNS entry on our server and a localy host page that looked like this.

Most thought it was Google, till they scrolled way down!!

What did everyone else do!

Google is the Internet.

They have the box.

i enjoyed that.

i came in on april 1st, completly oblivious to what day it was, and having been in the office till 2am on an upgrade project the night before, i was a little out of it.

first call out to a desk were 2 separate computers next to eachother with monitors not working. i went through everything, power light was on, just blank screen.

after about 10 minutes i notices a tiny blue line at the top of one of the black screens, the bst*rds had used double sided sticky tape and black cardboard, and it took me 10 minutes to notice!

next year i will be prepaired for revenge!!

I searched online to find the Jurassic Park Nedry password denial screen but could not find it as a whole. It was either the audio or the gif. Then I got the idea if I could just combine them into a screen saver that it would work. A couple of hours later and some minor tweaks and I got it perfected. I put that on a few computers.

Quality…

And that IT crowd episode is a classic too.

A few years ago my wife and I sent my parents, brother, and sister an email that read:

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Love to all,

Chris and Jaime

PS - Can we have our inheritance early, please?

Yes, we were pregnant at the time, but only with one. It was sweet.

I had several friends try to tell me about their spontaneous and/or unexpected pregnancies. I have a new policy - If you are going to tell me something, especially big news like that, don’t tell me on April 1. Tell me the day before or after or I won’t believe you no matter what.
