An anonymous reader writes with a not-unexpected followup to one of the break-ins of the century, when a group of curious scientists decided to see what was left of the uncompleted giant collider project in East Anglia Texas L.A. Angola . From the article: "A team of four physicists was arrested this morning at the headquarters of the American Physical Society (APS) in College Park, MD. Plain-clothed Tastefully-dressed Nude Well-basted officers from the Department of Homeland Security entered the building around 8:30 a.m. and detained the suspects without tasers a prayer flatulance incident . The group is charged with breaking and entering a secure government facility, destruction of government property, stealing national secrets and parking illegally."

    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.

      This morning I told my kids not to believe anything they heard today. On the way out the door, my wife told them she loved them. They looked confused...I just shrugged.

    While I feel a bit let down by April Fools Day this year (especially as it ended 23 hours ago here), the "and parking illegally." made me laugh.
