Why I especially dislike April Fools on the internet:
It takes a very long time to stop being April 1
considering time zones
and people picking up their email once a week
and therefore the resulting 'WAH!!!' goes on *ages*.
Plus if the page is left up without a date stamp clear on it then it very quickly loses the 'obvious' context clues.

And all these 'fools' depend on things being 'obvious', but that is a very local phenomenon. I mean there is nothing, but nothing, so entirely unlikely that there isn't one out of the six or so billion people on this planet that would either do it or sincerely believe it. So the whole 'foolish' bit? Is so context specific its useless.

And its a whole bunch of people making up untrue things for the purpose of making more ignorance! How can this be good? Make people not-know instead of know? Stupid!

So I tend to hide all day and pull the duvet over my head.

Which, granted, distinguishes it not from most other days.

But this is me being grumpy about it once again.
