    Hehe hehe, we drew a monobrow, goatee and sideburns onto one of my friends while he was asleep.....in charcoal
    I love april fools day
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Blizzard Entertainment announced that the new Alliance race for their upcoming World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will be Wisps. They possess the radical ability to detonate themselves in order to strengthen their fellow players or weaken enemies. Due to the fact that the player would be permanently dead after doing this, many players claim that this is a joke, considering the news was released on March 31 - the day before April Fool's Day. It should be noted that on the time of release, it was in the closing minutes of March 31st for the European customers.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Is that for real? Maybe I need a sense of humour transplant, but I would have considered that in very poor taste even as an April 1st prank. Suicide bombing is too serious, current and has hurt too many people to be lampooned by a game company.

    By the way, my favourite was here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/01/gwot_cha/ Conspiracy to allow Bush a third term - nearly posted it here

    Took me a while to realise that it was a joke tbh.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
