Early Buzz: Pranks, 'True Blood' and more news

Good morning! I must say, April Fools' Day isn't my favorite holiday, especially as a journalist. In any case, here's a roundup of a bunch of pranks from Google, YouTube and the like that will be updated throughout the day. And keep in mind if you read something amazing today — like, for instance, that Chappelle's Show is coming back — it's probably not true! (I'll admit Scope Bacon made me laugh, though.)
