Tech Crunch has a nice rundown of all of the April Fool’s jokes online. I’m thinking, who needs a prank this year?
- Bank stocks are suddenly penny stocks.
- Google is shutting down units right and left and launching a VC fund, Google Ventures.
- Facebook plows through yet another high level executive.
- Google is worth more than GE.
- GE is trading for less than $10 a share.
- The NYT sunday paper charges more than a single share fetches on the markets.
- Chicago’s two newspaper companies? Chapter 11.
- A wide array of newspapers don’t print anymore, while others only print Thursday through Sunday, and others still print every day but only deliver it on a few days.
- The median price for a home in Detroit? $9,000.
- NY real estate is set to fall 50% this year, some say.
- Oh, and the President of the US is an African American.
Reality seems pretty unbelievable these days, if you ask me.
