Air New Zealand standing-room only fares. That's the fess-up page, 'cos it's already April 2nd in the NZ timezone, but it still has the pic of cabin staff shoving people in the plane door a la Tokyo underground, and the needling of Google+ in the share-buttons text.

I'd embed this, but the point is to go to the site. Chrome Multitask Mode.
Unfortunately it doesn't actually work, and just mirrors your mouse movements. It also glitches and starts putting up dozens of pointers
And as usual, consider this a reminder to check out Think Geek.

The comic changes based on the size of your browser window. Even small changes can change the comic.

I knew there were some variations of the XKCD strip, but I'd no idea there were so many.

Are those comics April Fools jokes because, unlike regular comic strips, they're not funny?

The XKCD comic strips do come with a warning that they are not suitable for everyone 
but I think you already know this. I assume the joke in the April 1st strips centers around people getting different versions, and the confusion around the water cooler it caused.

Ok, I liked this one: http://xkcd.com/1032/
And I actually did like the tortoise one, but probably only because I've seen almost exactly the same situation play out on Hell's Kitchen when Ramsay asked one of the contestants a pretty straight forward question.

I just wanted to see if I read this correctly: are you talking about the April 1st strips specifically or XKCD in general?

I was talking about the April 1st strips I combed through. However, I don't find XKCD as a whole funny or amusing enough to visit on any kind of regular basis - just when someone here links to something specific.
