Weekly Winnners – April Fools’ 2010

April 1, 2010

February 12 – March 31, 2010 I was never any good at making up even halfway decent April Fools’ Day jokes, so I’ll leave that to the creative geniuses at Wikipedia, Google UK, Starbucks, and ThinkGeek (love the Dharma Initiative Alarm Clock), instead, here are some of my favorite photos from the last month and [...]
