So, this popped up in my email this morning: A link to Tribbles ‘n’ Bits, a Star Trek breakfast cereal paying homage, of course, to the Tribbles, and coming complete with a Captain Pike action figure in the box.

Of course, I immediately clicked the Buy Now button to purchase a couple of boxes for my Trek-lovin’ husband, and, okay, another box or two to sell to some desperate Trekkies on eBay later on.

And then I was sent to a screen with a big yellow smiley face and this text:

“GOTCHA! Happy April Fool’s Day!”

Well played, ThinkGeek. Well played, indeed.

Now, seriously, who’s gonna make this Tribbles cereal a reality? Because it’s a pretty cool idea.

Anyone else fall for April Fool’s gags on the Interwebs today?

Oh, and P.S. for Lost fans: Let me save you some humiliation. The Dharma Initiative Alarm Clock? Not real, either.
