The Daily Telegraph featured a story on 'specially trained-ferrets' who are being used to 'deliver broadband cable to rural areas', The Mirror and the Express went for the same April Fool - a picture of the Queen boarding an easyJet flight, The Independent reports that London Underground is exploring the possibility of using the Circle Line to house a particle accelerator similar to the Hadron Collider, 'Particle physicists believe the existing tunnel could be adapted to take a small-scale "atom smasher" alongside the passenger line,' the paper reports.
and finally not to be out done Google, meanwhile, has dreamed up a slew of April Fools including the Google Wave, the company is offering to send an actual human to tell users when there is a new Wave in your inbox, it's also offering a new Google application - Translate for Animals, 'We've always been a pet-friendly company at Google, and we hope that Translate for Animals encourages greater interaction and understanding between animal and human,' the company says,
