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:
“Spring’s an expansive time: yet I don’t trust
March with its peck of dust,
Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers,
Nor even May, whose flowers
One frost may wither thro’ the sunless hours.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Even a fool can have one good idea in a thousand.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
