An Inverted Aquarium for a Pond

Luxusburger built an inverted aquarium for his fish. It gives the fish an opportunity to see the world above, and we can see the fish really well! The secret is the Shop-Vac's ability to suck all the air out. It's same idea behind koi domes, which are pre-made and float on the water. There are also ready-made fixed spheres. Or you could just install an upside-down aquarium that you already have.

asdf Movie #10

TomSka has been producing the asdf movie series for quite a few years now, or maybe it just seems that long because there's so much time between episodes. The ninth asdf movie was in 2015. Now we have number ten! Beep, beep! I'm a sheep! The series of vignettes make no sense at all, and can be somewhat disturbing in places, But it goes pretty fast. (via Laughing Squid)

Sister Act

A Mover, Not a Shaker

This aired a few days ago, and I wasn't sure if it was funny enough to post. But it's become a huge meme, with plenty of remixes. This is the original.

10 Famous Birthdays to Celebrate in April

Some of our favorite historical figures were born in April—including three dancers who ended up famous for something else. Read ten mini-biographies I wrote for them at mental_floss. Clearly a good month to be born if you want to become a jazz legend.

Florida Atlantic University to Become Pet-Friendly

Florida Atlantic University will allow students to bring pets to school next fall. http://fau.edu/animal/ They even offer a meal plan for pets, 15 campus cat trees, and a video explaining the program. The scheme is only revealed when you register your pet- April Fool! Many of the corporate April Fool pranks this year involve ridiculous products you can buy for your pets. 

Liberty Games has an arcade game for cats, and another for dogs.

Petco offered a poop-scooping drone.

Trulia has doghouses for rent.

Analog Watch Co. will make a watch band for you out of your pet's discarded fur.

The candy store Sugarfina unveiled its first boutique candy for dogs, Beef Broth gummy bears.

Puzzlenation launched a line of puzzles for pets.

But the pranks from retail companies don't all involve pets. See a running list of corporate April Fool jokes at Time.

Rogue One As Told By LEGO

Disney has made an official LEGO version of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Does it contain spoilers? No, it's nothing like the movie. But it's cute. It's also pretty much an ad for LEGO, but the obvious product placement works into the plot. (Thanks, Paul Panday!)

Waiter, Please!

Two cats have learned that they will get a bite of kibble when they ring their bell. Apparently, it works just as well if one rings the other cat's bell, too. They have trained their human well. Sure, it's cute, but aren't you glad they aren't your cats? All night long, you'd be trying to sleep, and Hector Salamanca would be trying to detonate an explosion. But who knows, maybe its better than the racket these two were making before. (via Boing Boing)
