Every April Fools' Day, the British media like to let their hair down and fabricate a story just for laughs (The Guardian's was a particular favourite over our first cuppa of the morning).
The world of sci fi happily joined in the merriment today with a few pranks. Here are our favourites so far:
Sci Fi Pulse: DC, Marvel And The Adult Entertainment Market
Sci Fi Pulse put together a tall tale about DC Comics' plan to license their characters to prophylactics and adult toys. "Green Lanterns wield the most powerful weapon in the universe. All you have to do is add 'and any man can with this new ribbed condom' and you have the condom every high school and college guy will buy," said an anonymous source at DC Comics.
Genius!

FireFox News: Casting Call Sheet Leaked for Torchwood America
FireFox's claim that the casting call sheet for Torchwood America had been leaked almost had us fooled until we read the following quote from series creator Russell T. Davies: "The heart of the original programme was Gwen Cooper, so we're going to build on that in the new series. We're going to introduce Gwen's American cousin Jen, a feisty blonde in her early twenties. She will kick arse and take names and still provide that human touch to a jaded world. In her free time, she works with disadvantaged children and feeds the hungry. People are just going to love her." Not convinced it's a joke? How about the following: "We do promise at least one gay kiss per series, which should make everyone happy."
If this turns out to be real, we'll eat our sonic screwdrivers.
Series & TV: Lost Series Finale Leaked
Having claimed to have seen the final ever episode of Lost, Series & TV reported this morning that the show ends with Desmond pushing the button, Jack and Locke becoming BFFs, Sawyer and Kate smooching and Walt being eaten by a polar bear. Aww... if only they hadn't owned up to it so quickly.
To be fair, it was always pretty unlikely. We're willing to bet that all materials concerning the Lost season six finale are under lock and key - or perhaps in a secure vault behind a steel door.
Let us know if you've found any more!
