Which One Of The Many April Fools Stories Fooled You?

one newspaper the Sun had four in one paper, from the Daily Mail, the AA was about to launch an extraordinary new rescue service powered by lightweight jet-packs,
the Sun newspaper had four stories like this one, I hope none of their readers got splinters!
even The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds the RSPB got in on the stories, Dave Sexton, an officer for the charity, described his shock after allegedly finding a polar bear washed up on the Isle of Mull, other notable spoofs was a story on BBC Radio 4's Today programme that also sounded somewhat suspicious, according to new evidence unearthed at his Stratford home, William Shakespeare could actually be French,
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,
well only another year to wait for the next ones!
