I'm glad I'm not the only one confused.

I'm using Safari 3, and they look like buttons, but don't do anything. Do they work in Firefox or a newer version of Safari or something?

The second to last icon is a little iPod?

All different types of course.

So you're in on it, too, then...

I lol'd at that, and not many posts here get a lol out of me.

I have a sweet flag with mine.

I wonder what the different flags mean, or if they were just randomly assigned. I haven't seen any other Canadian flags yet.

Everyone's iPod icons are changing too. My has changed like twice already.

 

[it5five]

Nothing of mine has changed at all yet, although I've only been on for about 5 minutes since this started.

Look at the alt for the images.

They spell out A-p-r-i-l-1.

Happy April Fools, mateys!

EDIT: ****, I'm way too late. But hey, I caught that by myself, too!

 

[EvanLugh]

Lol, yep first thing i did was hover over. Nice little icons they are!

 

[Apple iKid]

I feel slightly dumb for not realizing that. Hahaha.

Good connection there. =]

 

[Mr. Giver '94]

Interesting.... I'm still not sure exactly how each icon is decided.

 

[SBik2]

so we all have different icons, but they all still spell out april?
weird.. i wonder how exactly these are chosen?

 

[yudilks]

Are those icons appear automatically?
