They’re geeks. They should have known better. For April Fool’s Day the guys at Think Geek posted a new item: a tauntaun sleeping bag, complete with saddle and a glowing light saber zipper pull. After being inundated with orders, they admitted it was a prank, and they’re going to try to talk to the “suits at LucasFilms” to see if they can get a license to produce the sleeping bag after all.

Top five April Fool’s Day pranks:

5. “Welcome to MSNBC! Your new show will be a great addition to our lineup.”

4. “Mr. Bush, we were just kidding about that Obama fella. Get back to the White House, because you’re president for life!”

3. “Starting this week, we’re replacing ‘casual Fridays’ with ‘assless chaps Thursdays.’”

2. “Hello, Wall Street? This is the U. S. Treasury. We did mention that you have to pay that money back, didn’t we?”

1. “Hey Pat, great news! We got two new clients: Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow!”
