April Fools' Day Request for Comments
A Request for Comments, in the context of Internet governance, is a type of publication from the Internet Engineering Task Force and the Internet Society, usually describing methods, behaviors, research, or innovations applicable to the working of the Internet and Internet-connected systems.
Almost every April Fools' Day since 1989, the Internet RFC Editor has published one or more humorous Request for Comments documents, following in the path blazed by the June 1973 RFC called ARPAWOCKY, a parody of Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem "Jabberwocky". The following list also includes humorous RFCs published on other dates.
