Is it over yet?

Yikes... my two favorite sites, Wikipedia and Slashdot, were totally 
worthless today due to an overexuberant excess of April Fool merriment. 
I think Wikipedia must define April 1st by GMT, because I see that the 
"block" links no longer read "crush by elephant," but Slashdot has 
posted _another_ half-dozen or so hoax articles.

Even Google News picked up a couple of April Fool hoaxes (and I do NOT 
mean "Google Gulp," either).

I was more productive at work today than I've been in weeks...
