The ADN blog posts yesterday were the result of the second year of our team's internal April Fools' Challenge, where we have a little friendly competition to see who can post the 'best' April Fools' article. Of course, different people like different kinds of humor, so there's never really just one 'best'. (We try to avoid posting serious articles on April 1st in case someone thinks we're joking when we're not, but one sometimes slips through due to timezone miscalculations).
In no particular order, here is a full list of our Foolish posts (along with the name and location of the perpetrator):

Although, the Autodesk-related post yesterday that made me laugh the most was this one – http://designandmotion.net/autodesk/its-autodesks-turn-to-get-acquired-by-facebook/.
