Thread for good April fools you can find around the Interwebs.

Google made 8-bit version of Google Maps (and Street View) so it can run on NES. Cool stuff

Video about that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t819fMw4g1c

EDIT: Zoom in to Area51, it's awesome in that Quest mode

1930 - April begins her life outside the limelight when her sister Judith is born.
1938 - At the age of twelve, Fools first shows an interest in baking when she helps her grandmother, the well-known Rose Fools, bake cookies.
1942 - April suffers her first true heartbreak when her sister Judith makes the cheerleading squad over her, gets the lead in the school play, and steals her boyfriend Johnny on the same day.
1944 - Fools lands her first job, working at a tank tread manufacturing plant in downtown Milwaukee.
1947 - After a lengthy engagement, April marries Albert Cranston in Madison, Wisconsin.
1952 - Upon the suggestion of a friend, April begins a small baked goods business from her own kitchen.
1955 - April and Albert welcome their first child into the world: Richard Cranston, named after his paternal grandfather.
1957 - The Cranston family welcomes their second child, Judy.
1964 - Albert's job as a box factory floor supervisor requires the Cranstons to relocate to Fargo, North Dakota.
