This puzzle:

Rows: 15, Columns: 15 Words: 76, Blocks: 40 Missing: {JQX} Spans: 3 Puzzle has duplicate clues. This is puzzle # 7 for Ms. Long.
Jim Horne notes:

Down answers in the right side of the grid are NORTHBOUND LANES, meaning they have to be read bottom-to-top. There have been some great April Fool's Day puzzles over the years.

Here are some of my other favorites: 1997 (AcLite, Solution), 2000 (AcLite, Solution), 2002 (AcLite, Solution), 2004 (AcLite, Solution), 2006 (AcLite, Solution), 2010 (AcLite, Solution.)
