April Fool's on the Web: a collection

Youtube has a 1911 filter today, it sepia-tones and filmscratches the video, and replaces the audio with tinkly silent movie piano music.

May I present to you XK3D, GMail Motion. For extra fun throw both mobile apps into the Horadric Cube App and get XK3DMail! (do not try and place the app into itself!)

I amn't too sure of that. Just think, millions of open portals the world over.... you'd never have any need for landfill ever again. It'd solve all of our enviromnmental concerns, giving us places to shove toxic and nuclear waste, along with Justin Bieber.
I'm sure I'm not the only person thinking thinking this.

I think that's more a reference to the consequence of putting a Bag of Holding or Portable Hole into each other or itself. Ever seen those "divide by zero" shoops? Portals aren't terribly useful when they take the form of black holes.

Also, Google is hiring autocompleters.

(How does one navigate to that page? I found it on a list, and there don't seem to be any links on google itself)

Go to Google, and type in the name of a font. I started with Helvetica, but it works for several others as well.
EDIT: On further examination, I think you have to start with a search on Helvetica to get it to work.

What other fonts work? Because so far I've only been able to get Helvetica to work.
EDIT: Oh, and Google's Chinese portal is offering Teleportation.

Quote:1. Blizzard Entertainment shall not be held responsible for any damages resulting from improper use of the Horadric Cube application ("the app") including, but not limited to, headaches, sleeplessness, rashes, hauntings, curses, dismemberment, disembowelment, evisceration, conflagration, immolation, insanity, demonic possession, or athlete's foot, nor shall Blizzard Entertainment be held responsible for any loss of souls or property damage caused by monsters, the undead, demons, or any other type of Lesser or Prime Evil. Contact Blizzard Entertainment support in case of unholy auras, ghostly visitations, or other paranormal phenomena.
2. LEMARCHAND CONFIGURATION: In case the app was placed within itself, step through the resulting portal with your phone, proceed to the Hellforge, and use the Hellforge Hammer to destroy your phone (Hellforge Hammer sold separately).
