Humor OTD

[mizarchivist]

After one irritating experience with some numb-nut briefly trying to convince me the governor resigned as an April Fool's joke (and I just gaped at him until he said just kidding- I was walking towards the state house where there was an inordinate amount of cameras and helicopter noises -and there's frequently both)-
Anyway, after that, I've noted some fantastic spoofs -
Tor's main page - and their press release about Neil Gamain.
Whole Wallet's main page actually sparked Robin to come up with a new recipe (thanks, ceo ) - he also pointed me to the Tauntaun sleeping bag that my cousin then linked to a bit later in Facebook. If I needed a sleeping bag ever, I would have a hard time  not getting it.
Gmail's new feature
Someone else reminded me of Alanis Morrisette's cover of My Humps on YouTube.

Thus far the Tor offerings have been my favorite. Oh, and the sleeping bag. (Do you have to sleep in the helmet and goggles, though?) I know a lot of these pages will disappear after today, but oh well. I mark them for posterity anyway. If I find any more before the end of the day, I will append.

Appended!-
Expedia's cheap flights to Mars (via mangosteen  via lifecollage ) Squee!!!
Further Tor humor found via Whedonesque: FOX cancels Joss Whedon. (snerk)

Didja see the link I posted a little while ago? I was thinking most obviously of you when I posted it. :)

caulay pointed me to that, actually. Dude! Why does he have to be some old, skeevy guy?! I swear! Ohmigawd! [/valleygirl]

Well, I guess that's part of the "April Fools" deal, right? We all know how hot librarians are in real life, so they had to subvert that for the joke. ;)

(pretends huffiness) well... OK. I'll be placated then.

Nice links

Tor's main page is awesome, and clearly a direct poke at "SyFy" or whatever idiot thing they're calling themselves now.

Re: Nice links

Yes. I've lost a lot of time this afternoon to their posts. I also had a feeling they were making fun of SyFy, too.

Have you seen http://AprilFoolsDayOnTheWeb.com/? They keep a list.

That's very efficient!
