Pointless Lying Day
by John Walker on Apr.01, 2008, under Rants
I detest April Fool’s Day. It’s a vile and stupid tradition that essentially boils down to, “Telling Slightly Plausible Lies Day”, rendering all news sources utterly useless, and entirely contrary to their purpose.
“HA HA! I wrote something that could be true but isn’t, and YOU believed it!”
Yeah, er, well done. That’s lying. You’re a liar. Shut up and go away.
However, it seems I can be swayed by good CGI. Screw you, BBC, that’s quite good.
(I also don’t mind that the two decent cartoon sites (and Questionable Snoretent) have mucked their URLs about – that’s not lying, just being daft).

I, on the other hand, am hugely pissed off about the url switching. This morning I had a blue screen, which somehow convinced firefox to eat my bookmarks. Restored them from backup, opened the webcomic folder and went into a half-hour panic trying to discover which piece of hardware had been fried.
But yes. It’s *that* time of year again.
Also, flying penguins = awesomesauce.
