Actually, it looks as if it expired on the 28th. Doesn't mean it can't be renewed though. I've done it with one of mine almost a week after the expiry date.

twine42, last year's April Fools joke was that Kuro5hin had bought Matt out, and the site had been redesigned - you can still see the met4filter look here.

Jokes expire 1 year after making them, don't they? Are you guys asking me to renew a domain that was funny for one day?

(1) I thought April fools ended at lunchtime?

(2) Fark.com was funny for a whole day?

(3) Combine (1) and (2)

The only people who say april fools ends at lunch time are exasperated elementary school teachers tired of being told their shoelaces are untied over and over and over.
Unless the pagan new year for which the Simmpsons tells me April Fools was named lasted for just half a day, then I've still got a few good hours left.
