I’m on the ThinkGeek mailing list. This morning, I sat down to read my email bef0re work (and coffee), and opened the latest ThinkGeek email.<\/p>\n
“Liar’s paradox shirt?<\/a> That’s okay. I’m not sure I’d buy one for myself…”<\/p>\n “2001 monolith action figure<\/a>? 0 points of articulation? Do want.”<\/p>\n “Screaming chef’s knife<\/a>? Interesting, but it’s probably a low-quality knife.”<\/p>\n “Tribbles ‘n’ Bits cereal<\/a>? Ha.”<\/p>\n “Dharma Initiative alarm clock<\/a>? Wait a minute…”<\/p>\n XKCD today<\/a> is also geeky cool. (Edited to add 3: Our great and good friend Commvault Bryan points out that this XKCD<\/a> is relevant to today’s prank.)<\/p>\n I’ll add to this post as I find more April Fool’s day stuff. If you’ve found something funny or interesting, please feel free to mention it in the comments.<\/p>\n Edited to add: This site<\/a> appears to be reporting that Apple has purchased Dell. However, this is a French site, and I don’t speak their crazy moon language.<\/p>\n Edited to add 2: Locus Online<\/a> has their April Fool pieces up. Certain writers <\/a>may be familiar to some of you. (Edited to add 7: One of the Locus Online pieces gets praise on the <\/a>Reason<\/a><\/strong> “Hit and Run” blog<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Edited to add 4: Whole Foods Market action figures<\/a>. Also, the “Don’t Eat That!” iPhone app, and featured recipes. The “Deep-fried Bacon-wrapped Bacon with Bacon Bits” sounds tasty.<\/p>\n Edited to add 5: My great and good friend Glen has a good one on his site. The “Lady GaGa<\/a>” indeed.<\/p>\n Edited to add 6: PC World<\/a><\/strong>‘s Top Ten list<\/a>. (Hattip: Mom.)<\/p>\n Lowering the Bar explains why they don’t have an April Fool’s Day post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Edited to add 8: Dinosaur Comics<\/a> deploys a very clever hack (see the newspost for details) that allows you to read the comic in the style of Penny Arcade<\/a>. Or XKCD<\/a>. Or Achewood<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m on the ThinkGeek mailing list.
