Ha ha.

Did you fall for any April Fools' Day tweets, videos or tricks?

Here are some we have come across:

• Funny or Die introduced a new 1.5-second video concept called Dips. 1.5 seconds.

• Twitter announced a Twelfie stick in a blog post. It's like a selfie stick, but better.

• Sam Smith said he's straight.

• Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb were naked for the fourth hour of Today!

• Kanye got humble. Oh wait, that's not Kanye.

• Kyle MacLachlan made a Twin Peaks joke.

ThinkGeek.com offered a cool-looking Game of Thrones Clue game for sale for $49.99.

Access Hollywood host Billy Bush pulled one on his wife.

• Jay Z and Beyoncé, the new royal godparents to royal baby No. 2? Yep, Yahoo UK reported it, seemingly serious, and even quoted an "official statement" from Kensington Palace. "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that Sean Carter and Beyoncé Carter nee Knowles will be godparents to their new arrival." Their second royal baby is due later this month.

Strangely, said statement could not be found on the palace website or on its Twitter feed, and palace spokesmen did not deign to respond.

• #HarryGotArrested started trending on Twitter. Gasp! Harry Styles of 1D? Among his "crimes" was "being too handsome."

• The folks at The Bachelor sent us a press release about a new line of hot tubs being designed by the creative team behind the hit ABC show. Among the highlights of the state-of-the-art hot tubs: "Seating for Multiple Suitors, Adjustable Settings for Pressure, Mood Lighting and Built-In Vases to Display Fresh-Cut Roses." And here's a list of retailers selling them.
