      That would be teh BESTE APRIL FOOL'S JOKE EVAR. And link to Google searches - for "app," "platform," "category," "verb," and "noun."

      That'd be WAY too clever for Slashdot - but I can dream, can't I?

      In our day, we used to have to {verb} our {noun} manually, using a {obsolete device} and a hand-cranked {platform}. And we liked it that way. You {pejorative} have it too easy with your {adjective} {app}. With all this newfangled technology, {verb} is becoming a lost art.

    This just in! Mac OS X users can now poke themselves in the eye with a fork.

Anything that increases fork sales is a plus for us. Vive la Liberte!"
