OT: Poisson d'Avril

[Arkcon]

OK, those crazy newspeople have got me twice already, and it's still not April first at this longitude.
Here's the clean one. (http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/gmail.html)
and I'm not posting the second one.

I'm not reading any news sources tomorrow. Uh-uh. No way. I've had enough. I only want to hear about the latest news on SE5 ... oh, no ... no ... it couldn't be.

I was wondering what fish had to do with Avril Lavigne.

Fish are related to the origins of April Fool's (which originated in France)... I forget how exactly, but Google can inform the curious. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Don't worry, the news on SE5 is real. Look, it was posted the 2 days before April 1 !!

the local news around here had a fake paul martin coming on saying that at 07:20 AM EST. Danish troops fired upon Canadian troops on the disputed island.

Then they went along with it.

Had a bush impersonater come on at the 8 am news to state that this needed to be resolved immediatly with the world court system since were both nato members...

Rather funny.

P.S.

there actually is a conflict brewing over this small rocky island... just no one knows about it around here except me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
