A pretty lame one but I noticed Trademe renamed everything in "Cool Auctions". One of the better ones (gone now) was "Trade your mullet for a car":

Next year April 1st will be a Sunday, not only daylight savings but in my part of the country daylight changes mean tsunami siren testing at 11am. That should be interesting.

Samsung and Huawei have bought a 43% share in Apple. They will bring android to iPhone by end of year

The Daily Telegraph did a cover story about Polar Bears being found in Scotland due to ice flows breaking up.

 

Was relatively believable until the bit where they suggested the bears would end up in Glasgow rummaging in city bins for discarded kebabs and haggis....
