In case you didn't notice, today is April Fools' Day.

If you didn't know, there's a chance you might have already fallen for one of these...but as it's after midday, we'll let you in on a few pranks of the morning.

YouTube's farewell

YouTube announced it's the end, as they're close to finding a winner:
"Tonight at midnight, YouTube.com will no longer be accepting entries."

"We started YouTube in 2005 as a contest with a simple goal to find the best video in the world. We had no idea we'd get such a great response..."

Google Nose

The new scentsation in search. "Google Nose leverages new and existing technologies to offer the sharpest olfactory experience available".

Fancy a whiff of garlic breath?

N mre vwls n Twttr

Twitter announced that consonants will be free in future - but you'll have to upgrade and pay for vowels. T1ght b8st8rds!

Virgin's glass-bottomed plane

Richard Branson blogged that Virgin will be introducing planes which let you look down below through a glass panel, sending shivers to acrophobics everywhere.

No more prison odours

Due to a prisoner report showing 83% of prisoners said that odorous toilet excretions were hampering their ability to relax, all prisoners in England and Wales are to be given free supplies of odour neutralisers.
