  1. Sickr, tbh first time I clicked on this link, I was led to a spew of porn sites o_O But then the second time it led me here, as well as the third time to post this.

      1. It’s nothing to do with me! I’ve contacted support and hopefully they can get this resolved. Don’t think it’s happening to everyone but it obviously needs sorting. Sorry guys!

      2. Me as well about 4 times, I’m glad that I’m not the only one. I thought that there’s something wrong with my iPhone.

      1. It’s not April yet in the UK either, which sits in the time zone by which all other time zones are measured. Google is a primarily western company, and the UK and USA are the two prime western territories so it would make sense to time the release for one or the other.

    1. It went up just as it became April 1st in New Zealand (leading time zone in the world). And while I’m at it, it’s April 1st where I am.

  2. Awesome, I just looked at it, it’s really up :) I wanted to see 8-bit Disney World but they didn’t do it. Oh well, still cool though.

    1. They’re actually making it (if past Google April Fools jokes are to go by). The last couple times they did the jokes they actually sold them, and people said they were pretty great quality.

  3. Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back
    frequently!

  4. Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m
    looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
