Oh, come on... This is the least obnoxious Slashdot April Fool's so far. Do you want them to go back to the entire day being fake stories? Or OMGPonies!!!?

Stop saying that. I found a coworker under my desk. He was curled into a ball and kept mumbling "Oh my God!". It took 3 moccachinos and a bagel to tempt him out of there.
Indeed, it's the least obnoxious, but still annoying.
As to it being a case of the mondays, Oh Yeah. Especially with every executype in a paranoid media-driven panic about this damned virus/worm. If I ever meet the autor of that thing, I'll buy 'em dinner and a drink or two. Right before I put two.40 rounds into each of their knees. (with one exception: if it patches the system and unilstalls it self with a `haha fooled you' pop-up, I'll laugh)
But its a quite fun one anyway. Think about it, achievement whoring is what life is all about anyway. You see it all over all day long, it fits perfectly in here too.
well, almost two hours later, and every story posted has been an april-fools prank...I swear, if I didn't have to be at work, I wouldn't even turn on a computer today, I have lots of books.
In terms of stuff to come out on the first of April, I'd rate it somewhat above OMGPonies, but well below GMail. That said, I'm only posting here so I can get an achievement out of it...
Hey, don't disparage the ponies! I'm waiting for the Goth April Fools where Taco announces that he's accepted a position with IBM and is now officially part of a Collective.
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in
the world that just don't add up.

Thanks for adding to the noise on this most annoying of days.
Yes, I know it's traditional, but with every single f'ing site doing it, it gets annoying very quickly.

I for one heartily agree. (And yes, this comment is me doing some achievement-grabbing).
