Valleywag tells about classic April fools' jokes, including the arrival of 30-year old Sun Microsystems' manager Eric Schmidt in his office to find a running VW Beetle, as shown in the video below. Perhaps the supply and demand of April fools' jokes were better balanced in those days as physical objects placed some constraints on them, whereas today's technology enables both mass production and mass distribution. However, Eric Schmidt finds himself in creative context this April 1 st as well, with Google teaming with Richard Branson on targeting human settlement on Mars, with perhaps this and this being part of the grand plan (via Techcrunch).
