John C. Dvorak's Historical April Fool's Hoaxes

John C. Dvorak recounts his past April Fool's pranks that landed him in the Hoax Hall of Fame, including a story about Senator Patrick Leahy banning "drunk surfing" on the internet. Another hoax involved a claim that Gateway Computers was buying the city of Sioux Falls to rename it "Gateway City." Dvorak explains his method of using the name "A. Lirpa Sloof" (April Fools spelled backward) as a hint for readers.
