OPLIN has a reputation for producing pretty good April Fool's jokes over the years. We were even informed that people at PLA were eagerly anticipating our latest endeavor for the prank-pushing holiday. It occurred to us that we might want to create a record of these.

Note that no jokes were created or dispersed in either 2020 or 2021, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
