I like http://decaffeinated.org/archives/2006/04/01/fools and wonder why some people only feel comfortable expressing their humour one day each year, much as I wonder why some people can only express love on Valentine's Day.
I would appreciate April Fool's Day and Valetine's Day much more if they coincided.
I think Google has you covered with regards to that Valentine's Day stuff. I didn't even link to the Google Romance Beta, because it just seemed too likely to turn into a real product...
