I even opened my browser today,
It was because they broke out! They came through a functional SSC in another universe, and used the Einstein-Rosen bridge combined with a Quantum Leap Accelerator to cross into this universe.
It's not like people are trying to kill us or anything.
I really hate April 1. Between my kids and Slashdot, the day is always ruined. I have a sense of humor, but I stopped laughing about 30 minutes after the kids got home. Sigh.
...Really? Guess it puts the parking illegally in perspective.
...are meant to be funny. This was not.
(and yes, I know this is Slashdot)
They were also charged with spray painting "MIT SUCKS" on the coils. The four were believed to have flushed Potassium down the toilets but the charges are being held until the water on the floors of the bathrooms can be tested.
Wake me up when its over.

The Republican's with their Christian Anti-Science Fundamentalism are out to get scientists.
Next, you'll see them fight against Global Warming because it hurts their coal and oil over lords! And then, they get the stupid peons on board who believe that Global Warming doesn't exist - even though the evidence is there!
Goddamn dumb Republicans!
An admitted fake, but I think whats more sad is that this could actually be a true news story. Even the absurdity of the parking ticket lends merit to the story. Welcome to the police state.
Superconducting Super Collider? That just sounds expensive. So when Congress is looking to save money, that really stands out. Collider sounds to violent as well. If they had called it "Mini-micro concur-er," It would have been whacking up stuff today.
Schroedinger's Brexit: The UK is both in and out of the EU at the same time!
When was the last time four physicists were all at work by 8:30am?
Seriously, April Fools is overrated now. All the jokes have been done and done again - they are just not funny anymore, some not even in the first instance.

I really hope that these stupid idiotic combo boxes that render the RSS feeds streams news information basically useless gibberish insane are some sort of lame happy pointless April fools joke and not a page design decision afterthought whim.
Please think about the one dozens tens hundreds thousands millions billions of user users people person readers that are using clients computers cellphones tablets desktops etch-a-sketches to access these articles.
Google and everyone else will have to discount all "news" with a date of 1-5 April, and remove them from search results. Once people figure out that this is happening, criminals will use 1 April to conduct criminal activity and the general populace will begin putting the incorrect date on their "1 April fools" pranks, wreaking even more havoc.
better pay the parking fine or the ppa will boot you and fee you to death..
Oh G*d this is so much fun ;-)
I don't know if anyone else is seeAing this but I am experiencing a glitch in the /. website that allows me to see certain words have a drop down options list for alternative words. The options make such interesting alternate wording that I am currently addicted to reading/editing articles on /.
If you cant see it, here are 3 screen grabs.

In other news, a Higgs Boson which had become stuck in the pipe was stolen.
Where is it?
On the other hand, the OMG!!! PONIES!!!
It's ***PINK*** PONIES. Poser
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.

The other 3 charges are trivial and are easily dismissed with a warning or minor fine.
But parking illegally?!?!? UH oh...... the group is bound to be sentenced to hang.

Their names weren't Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj, by any chance were they?
Their names are Rajesh, Sheldon, Leonard and Howard?
i guess all there base really do belong to them
It's really scary when you can't figure out "is this an April Fools joke or not?"
