Lame April Fool’s Joke
Keeping with the spirit of lame April fool’s jokes today posted by other news sites like Slashdot and Digg, we thought we’d get in on the stupid blatantly-fake headline tirade as well:
“Conficker worm causes thecoffeedesk.com servers to explo”
“Microsoft acquired by the Free Software Foundation”
“The Pirate Bay pleads guilty”
“John Carmack closes Quake source, requests everybody to return it”
“Apple computers now vulnerable to Conflickr worm”
“The Onion posts an unfunny story”
“Joomla! declared secure by the NSA”
“Obama stops spending money”
“Disco still in fashion”
“Yahoo! buys Google”
“AIG donates all corporate funds towards the national debt”
“Intel to discontinue x86 in favor of Itanium”
“String-terminator bug discovered in Linux kernel@#$!!!1$$9*378(959}}}”
“FreeBSD panic() function causes computer to reboot”
“Ethernet found to cause cancer”
“Crisys runs smooth on Pentium II”
“Richard Stallman gives Windows 7 thumbs up”
“Israel and Pakistan make peace”
“The Internet declared to be scalable until 2099, declares ICANN”
“Apple endorses iPod/iPhone jailbreaking”
There, we now feel that we’ve somehow achieved the same special status as other news agencies by posting a list of April fool’s day “jokes” that are blatantly obvious. Sorry for not posting a genuinely funny April fool’s day joke, but after seeing the debacle of failed attempts to do so by other sources, we felt that poking fun at them alone was good enough.
