Post audio April Fools links please!!

It's that time again when we get a whole list of great April fools things going around. I love to see all the audio ones. Please post any you have seen!

A couple I have seen from Google (but non audio related unfortunately):

    My favorite thus far is the Quest mode of Google Maps.

    It would sound funny if it was May Fool's?

    May favorite so far - I've ordered the complete collection on Betamax with the delivery option of Freight Vessel - all mine for a mere 2 million dollars plus! and all delivered to my door by 2045.

    Hmmm.... I'm not an expert but I think he's mistaken, I'm pretty sure it would take 8 conductors connected to the non-reversible trimmy pipe that leads to the differential girdle spring instead of just 7.

    Why did they pick April?


    April 1st used to be New Year's Day (before the Gregorian Calendar) Some people refused to accept Jan 1st (or simply didn't know about the change) and continued celebrating on April 1st - the fools

    HTH.

    OMG THIS FRIKKIN AWESOME~!!! I literally laughed out loud!

    Of course I drooled at the console - looks similar to the one Bernie Grundm,an used a few years back when I sat in with him mastering a record I had done.

    Hey Larry,


    Yeah, they did a great job with the video, didn't they? I mean they made it look/sound so authentic, I'm willing to bet that they actually fooled a few people.  And anyone that isn't a musician would probably be fooled too... at least for a little while.

    Hey Fog,


    Well, it's about time... ha! Just kidding...  Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.


    He he... yeah, that would be funny. I could put together a cool YouTube video promo. Send me some pictures of you doing some fishing and I'll include them...

    Scott, I've got a good excuse for not getting around to Sonar until now...I've had heart problems for the last year and ended up getting a double bypass operation done in December. I'm finally healing up and getting back to my old self. I'm doing well now and am getting back into recording again.

    Hey Wayne,


    Sorry to hear about the heart problems and surgery. I'm sure that wasn't a fun experience. Glad to hear you're doing much better though and getting back to making music!

    err very tricky in London, to go fishing properly (I don't anyway). well little venice is kinda near abbey road / bbc maida vale, so thats about as close to fishing & music in London for me. I don't fish,  sorry.. hence why I need a power book.
