I am an April Fool

Here are two of the April Fools’ Day jokes that I have fallen for today:
Puppy Love Pet Matchmaking:
http://www.dailycandy.com/los_angeles/article/35972/Its+Love+Doggone+It
An LA-based pet service that matches your personality (based on a survey that you fill out) with a compatible pet. Puppy Love (310-555-8888 or puppylove.com).
Gmail Custom Time
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html
Gmail has launched a new service that will let you force your emails to appear in your recipient’s inbox at the date and time that you specify. This service is especially useful for those who forget a loved one’s birthday; simply set the custom time to the date of their birthday and you no longer have to send a pathetic, embarrasing belated birthday message.
I really enjoyed the beta user testimonials:
“I just got two tickets to Radiohead by being the ‘first’ to respond to a co-worker’s ‘first-come, first-serve’ email. Someone else had already won them, but I told everyone to check their inboxes again. Everyone sort of knows I used Custom Time on this one, but I’m denying it.”
