Anybody have any "most likely to be believed" April Fools' stories? [View all]

I don't but the thought occurred to me so I'm asking:

Every now and then someone winds up looking dumb because they quote a prank April Fools story. And it happens all year 'round with stories from The Onion.

Any such stories from today that look ripe for leaving someone's ass hanging in the wind?
