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."'"

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?
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?
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.
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 /.
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?
May be we can get samzenpus a job at the Onion. His humor is super sophisticated. Bitcoin spoof Mac spoof next up.
Q: On April Fools Day, does The Onion print real news stories?
Way to whore for Karma Anonymous Coward!
I'm reading this in an RSS reader. It's not pleasant needing to go to the site for every new article.
