FlyBy, of course, was not fooled by anyone--many attempted, none succeeded (we will confirm our enviable stash of GOLD, but refrain from discussing how it's put to use). For all of you, we present (to those who haven't seen it), the famed College Humor Prank War, which finally updated recently with a new prank. How else to keep your brain alive in tonight's VOID? Share your April Fool's story in the comments! Help out a fellow VOIDer...you could be the difference between someone powering through or leaving...
