April Fool's Jokes
On April Fool's Day 2008, Dinosaur Comics was part of a three-webcomic prank involving Questionable Content and xkcd, wherein each comic's URL displayed another comic's web page. Questionablecontent.net displayed the Dinosaur Comics website, qwantz.com displayed xkcd, and xkcd.com displayed Questionable Content.
On April Fool's Day 2010, the usual characters were replaced with those from the Nedroid webcomic series. The same 6 new panels were applied to every single comic on the website. Afterwards, North kept this feature available and added other webcomics, such as Penny Arcade and xkcd, all of which can be accessed by adding "&butiwouldratherbereading=" and the specific name to the end of the URL.

Famous quotes containing the words april, fool and/or jokes:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“Even a fool can have one good idea in a thousand.”
—Chinese proverb.
“He left behind, as his essential contribution to literature, a large repertoire of jokes which survive because of their sheer neatness, and because of a certain intriguing uncertainty—which extends to Wilde himself—as to whether they really mean anything.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
