April Fools Wrap Up
Thanks for the usual April Fools Day flame- every year people fall for it.
It never ceases to amaze me how angry and venomous, yet utterly clueless
a few people can be despite the blatant obviousness of the joke.
Lastly, jfengel sent us the annual April Fools RFC: RFC3251 describes "Electricity over IP" and RFC3252 on "Binary Lexical Octet Ad-hoc Transport" reformulates IP to work over XML."

Ohhh... fuck you.
For crying out loud, you people are fucking addicted to this place and all you can do is bitch about it. I like it better when it was just for Malda's personal amusement, I don't give a fuck about the shareholders and he shouldn't either. If he starts running the site with nothing but the shareholders in mind then everything that makes the site worthwhile will vanish. So a hearty FUCKOFF to you, maybe if Malda ignored the shareholders clamoring for money more often we'd go back to getting amusing stories about lego robots dismantling other lego robots with glow in the dark magnetic nerf guns.

It never ceases to amaze me how pompous and self-righteous, yet utterly clueless posters can be despite the blatant lameness of their posts.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Hint: read the HTML source of that link. Things will be clearer. The CVS $Id$ is a bit of a giveaway as well :)
After getting chocked up with /. nonsense and other similar stuff today, I decided to give up and use my computer for some playing. I wanted to play some oldie, so I reinstalled Master of Orion 2. A few turns into the game, I read into the turn summary:
Citizens demand a stadium. (There is no stadium building in MOO2, so I was puzzled). And more cream of celery soup. I stared for a while at the screen, and then laughed.
Still unsure if this was some 4/1 joke, I checked google and found a page saying that there's actually that easter egg in the game that shows that message.
That was the only thing today that left me with the jaw open. I hope there are still some places where I will be off guard on next April Fools... Slashdot hasn't one of them for a long while.
The worst -- and funniest -- abuse of the clueless is AOLiza. Take the oldest and lamest online shrink, hook it up to a well-known message system, and you will laugh until you have trouble breathing.
God, I'm cruel and arrogant...
Would you like me to:
* Fuck the spelling up
* Post this multiple times as different people
* Add a stupid opinionated comment at the end
* Forget to close a HTML tag
