According to the official Facebook blog, starting today, friends and families of deceased Facebook users can now switch accounts over to “memorialized” profiles. The account is locked and stripped of sensitive information, so people can come and pay their respects. This is both a very noble gesture, and the basis for a number of new Facebook related pranks.
Someone in a bat costume hangs around scaring the crap out of people.
Although the sentiment is sweet, this is still not the appropriate method of cloning. Nevertheless, we'll take giant paws over fat guy butts anyday.

Culture Buzz Never fails. Unless it turns out that your girlfriend has been sleeping with a fake head behind your back and is totally unsurprised.
The Yes Men, the same guys behind the fake New York Times prank, have done it again, this time distributing a fake New York Post filled with factual information that detail the threats posed by climate change. We can only assume that these guys are the product of Michael Moore eating Ashton Kutcher and pooping out citizen journalism pranksters.
Culture Buzz Did you know silly string was flammable? Now you do. Buzzfeed: your go-to source for safety tips and cake FAILs.
Some painful, often hilarious pranks from the motherland.
I'm just really into how intricate the setup for this is. Teachable moment: Any time someone turns on a video camera and asks you to blindfold yourself, probably don't do that. (Via.)
This Iranian street art kinda looks like Goatse, no? If you're curious, the text inside the goat hole reads, “Where Is My Vote?”
A hallway full of freshmen + dorm mattresses = mattress dominoes. So extreme bros, so extreme. Now somebody, pass me some Dew! Yeeeaaggguhhh.
Poor dude's just sitting on the porch, reading his book, when his hilarious girlfriend slaps him with her bloody tampon. Ha-ha! But she was just joking! Honey? Well, suffice to say honey's not laughing.
Culture Buzz Check out this profile of Duffy “the gassy golfer” Martin. Strange noises follow Duffy everywhere he goes. Try not to fall in love, he's a charmer. Jackie Kennedy Onassis even fell for it.
The dummies at New York's CW local news affiliate saw Improv Everywhere's “Best Funeral Ever” online yesterday and tsk tsk'd them on air, not realizing that it was, in fact, an April Fools joke in itself. But who are we kidding? Everyone knows the CW news should be exclusively strictly covering the Gossip Girl catfight beat.
Improv Everywhere crashed the funeral of a man with very few surviving relatives to make it the best funeral ever! Sure, its a sensitive subject, but they just wanted to “spread a little joy to the saddest place of all!” And it worked! Until the end…
Movie Buzz The Pirate Bay is announcing that as of today, April 1st, they've been acquired by Warner Bros. for approximately $13 billion. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Improv Everywhere's latest stunt: turning a New York subway platform into an art gallery. We're betting on this being the first gallery opening where everyone was forced to ignore the stench of hobo urine.
While this may be a poorly disguised attempt at achieving viral infamy, we're nevertheless floored by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz agreement to a “prank” in which he ends up drinking his own urine. If only the real prank were that he didn't actually father a kid. There isn't enough money in the world to save poor Bronx Mowgli from a dad so humiliating, he swigs pee and wears Clockwork Orange eye make-up for attention.
What's causing these cars to go so slowly? Voila! It's le snail, by French prankster Remi Gaillard. Adorable.
Improv Everywhere strikes again with a feel-good “prank”. This time, an agent gives out free high-fives to passengers on a loooooonggggggg escalator. Rob Wants … To Give You … A High Five! … Get Ready! … ROB!
