Actually, I'm hoping that Uber's gay-bash thread is the joke, but it was started yesterday.

John(T), isn't that a user setting? Mine says 1-4-03 but a day ago it said 31-3-03: both of which are correct. If its a joke for people with stupid date formats only then it's a poor joke

I agree. But my format wasn't changed, I was just wanting to help Ming and Solver feel all superior. It's good for their widdle egos.

No, the obvious choice is that there is no April Fools Joke (though there still is time ) and they love seeing us in a tizzy over what it is. I've done enough of these to know one when I've seen one .

I find it funny that since the OTers didn't get it, they had to post to let us know that there was something to get. I guess the joke wouldn't be funny to them if no one got it.

Well Solver... It looks like you are going to win after all.
I'm shocked. I guess I gave the OT'ers more credit than they deserved... I didn't think it was all that subtle...

You know, I was reading through here quickly, and read your post.
I couldn't figure out WTF for a couple of seconds, having missed the somewhat critical word of in.
"Known to lend his log to people from time-to-time"???

Anyway, on with the thread.

Does it have something to do with the time being misconstrued? Somehow I wound up in Western Europe over the last few days. Anyone else have this?

At first I thought it was Urban Ranger's thread about Hong Kong being declared an infected port, but that turned out to be true, and besides, hardly anyone posted anything in the thread and it got buried.

What are you talking about? AFAIK Hong Kong is not an infected port. SARS is not one of the three diseases for it to happen.

I tried my own april fool joke, but it failed miserably. I posted an outrageous but serious-sounding statement in Uberkrux's thread, with a hidden disclaimer the same color as the background. The hope was that someone would get angry, hit the quote button, and then see that it was a joke. Unfortunately, everyone either ignored my comment completely or did not think there was anything wrong with it, and so didn't bother to quote it.
