I even remember the woman who "consigned" it had a first name of April.

Ahh good times. One of the better Net54 times. Don't forget Barry you were also involved....as was Leon

Fake photobucket with a hot young girl, pics of grandma, and fake email for April. The best part many of the folks claiming to know it was a joke also sending nice emails to April. You would be surprised how many guys had wives, sisters named April that day. I also love some of the very "on level" auction house offers...I still read the emails every now and then for a good laugh.

From the great British science fiction sit com Red Dwarf, the ship's computer performs an April Fool's joke on the only remaining human in the universe.

Thanks for reposting that John. Sure remember the craziness we caused that day. And not everyone appreciated the joke. But that was some amazing photoshopping.
