New Director Chosen At Fermilab
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that Fermilab has chosen a a new director. They refuse to release the name of the new director, only referring to him as 'The Doctor'. Citing their primary reasons for choosing him: 'It was his extensive experience, as well as his vague yet somehow still impressive educational background, that tipped the scales in the Doctor's favor, members of the committee said. This despite the fact that none of the members could determine with any certainty exactly what the new lab director's doctorate is in. "After facing down Daleks, Cybermen and the Master, I can't think of anyone more qualified to take on a congressional budget committee," outgoing director Pier Oddonesaid said. "I think the Doctor is a perfect choice."'"
Can we turn this encryption on permanently? It's doing wonders for my productivity.
May be we can get samzenpus a job at the Onion. His humor is super sophisticated. Bitcoin spoof Mac spoof next up.
This has gone on waaaay too long. It's like a tedious Kids In The Hall sketch that just won't die.
Hire someone with a sense of humor to do your next April Fool's gag, m'kay?
Heh.. And we were complaining about posters that didn't bother to read the linked article.
Now we will not even bother reading the summary!
fuck off !
wont be seeing you later.
lame ass shits
the guy at radio shack said he was crazy and now it's time to buy power back up as this doctors ideas likely will take down the power grid for at least a few hours.
The Doctor is complete irresponsible and incompetent for this job. He may have the experience but not the will and constancy that this position requires.
Was there white smoke coming out the chimney or something?

Translation of summary:

Please!
And I'm not talking about this article. I'm talking about Slashdot as a whole.

(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
This isn't what Slashdot needs, it's what Slashdot DESERVES!
Fuck u Slashdot and April fools day.
..I am here to help you ! Now please present your ID Card, so that we can send our thugs for you, in case you write something "unlicensed" !
FUCK YOU !
Apparently subtlety is being lost on this fine April day.
April fools day jokes have to be plausable. You see it is the stupidity of falling for the joke that makes it funny not so much the joke itself.
For example dslreports renamed their security forum to "Chinese Hackers" and for a few fleeting moments I fell for it.
One rot13 article is funny a whole days worth not so much...y/A-Za-z/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/
Honestly with Slashdot being the way it is these days, I wasn't sure if anyone would notice if they started running gag stories today. At least this way we know.

Here you guys are, bitching about this and yet, you keep coming back.
Like the drug addict who gets crap from his dealer and says, "That was shit! Gimme another hit."
Just say'in.
Eh??? It's 19:28 here (that's around 7:30pm in American, I think).
Plenty of other web sites manage to adjust themselves to the time zone of the reader ... obviously that would be a bit too clever for /.
Fuck u Slashdot and April fools day.
Is it too much effort to just not visit slashdot on April 1st. They do this every year. It's not like this is something new they did just to annoy you personally.

after searching for unusual sub-quark particles for years, apparently Fermilab has created enough of them to assemble a director that is unknown, strange, and charming, all at the same time. we may suppose this to be the neutron referred to by Dr. Rutherford in his Bakerian Lecture.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
Maybe I'll come back tomorrow... or later this week.
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. Seriously Slashdot?! A crummy commercial?
I'm reading this in an RSS reader. It's not pleasant needing to go to the site for every new article.
When Pres. Obama-Boy is hauled in front of a DC Judge to be arraigned from criminal negligence as his Big Ass Black SUV ran down a 3-yr old in Southeast DC while he in the back was on a cocaine milk run at 3 am the Judge will spurt-fart out "rqhpngvbany onpxtebhaq, gung gvccrq gur fpnyrf va gur Qbpgbe'f snibe, zrzoref bs gur pbzzvggrr fnvq.

What fun we will have with the Obama-Boy.
