April Fool's Days of Blizzard's past
Yes, loved by some and hated by others, tomorrow is 4/1, April 1st, known around the world (or at least the Internet) as April Fool's Day, and odds are that you'll have a lot of fools trying to play with your head.

I can understand the complaint, but I admit to tabbing out while waiting for arena queues to order pizza online at least once or twice.
