So every year blizzard usually does a few april fools jokes. I've yet to see what they have done this year, but let this be the official thread for whatever you guys find.
For those who don't remember last years epic "terra-tron" here is a youtube link
So, Happy hunting, lets find out what blizz has done for 2010. I will update the OP as soon as things are found. EDIT: On a sidenote if you go to google.com it says "topeka" where google should be.
Well It's currently 2:17am in California, giving us roughly 21 hours before april fools officially ends. Hopefully they put it out soon, i'm anxious to see what it is. =D
I believe they are giving out fake-keys, im not 100% sure though. Theres another thread where some people have gotten keys and are suspecting it's a aprils fools joke on blizzards part.

Ya I've read a little bit about that, but I dont think blizzard would do that, thats a little messed up and would only make fans/possible consumers upset. Really nothing funny about it.

I can almost promise you it will not be. Lets focus on this year terra-tron albeit was awesome as hell, its old news. I keep searching all over battle.net and blizzard.com and I cant find anything.

Maybe they will release a temporary SC2 imbalance patch. Terran -SCV increased hp from 45 to 100 -SCV now do 100 damage + 50 buildings.

eh, given it's beta, and they're working on the kinks, I don't think they'll take that approach. Maybe this time something to do with Diablo 3? Due the the fact that sc2 beta is drawing all our attention and they wanna do something sneaky sneaky.

Being an idiot? You wanted a damned Blizzard April Fools thread and you call me an idiot for keeping with the spirit of the holiday? Get bent.

You might think his joke isn't funny, but its still something done in good faith. There's no reason to call him an idiot, especially in a thread that's meant to be light hearted and joking.
Holy crap, no idea how i missed terra-tron last yeah but that's awesome. Since they went to the effort to actually make him, i'd be very very very surprised if he wasn't an easter egg somewhere in the single player xD
there's no way the new april fools joke is gonna be better than the last one, they'll probably make it waaay too obvious just to appeal to noobs. i for one will continue to laugh only at the terratron joke until the new joke is proven to have the depth and lasting appeal as the old one

Dunno, but for me it seems as if it was some kinda reference to the joke that they talk about SC2 with beers etc, so maybe it means that they were talking so much about sc2 that they're drunk and can't even write properly
lol I wandered over to the WoW site just to see the other jokes...
the gear "e-peen" one is pretty good too xD
"If you’re looking to boost your number even more, activities such as earning raid and Arena achievements or realm-first titles will help you get it up, and you'll also begin receiving in-game mail with exciting offers for additional ways to enhance it."
OMG ahahahaha, matchmaking for 1v1, 2v2 and FFA!!! I wanna FFA with the matchmaking system, sounds like a lot of fun. xD They really outdid themselves this year.
Cannot actually make a topic so I'll leave it to this. Its Blizzard Vs Bioware in the semi-finals of Escapist magazine's March Mayhem tournament. Blizzard is currently falling behind on votes, make sure the right developer wins this round. Cast your vote, and make it count.
The riddle has been solved. I found this: 1. This April fool is not a joke, 2. The fires of hilarity we do not stoke 3. Though to our riddles, 4. You have no immunity 5. We thank you for being part 6. Of the blizzard community!
