"Notch's prank?" If you're talking about the whole "Removed Herobrine" note that gets added to all the Minecraft patch updates, that didn't happen until long after the rumors were going.

A page exists here, though, and if the comments are to be believed then it's the "original" creepypasta. It's already in Classics, fittingly enough.
