Speaking of Rick rolling... I just did the #ubuntuforums irc channel, and a forum (not giving links to it, don't want to spoil it)

Go to youtube, and click on a featured video, they did it again.

See this little video (by HBO) http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tobtm3SBbCI

the BBC news showed footage of 'flying' penguins this morning!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/

it is on their website, but unfortunately, it can only be viewed on their 'iplayer' which doesn't support linux (they are supposed to be developing a linux version).

Works for me. All the content of the iplayer is available to stream, it's just the downloadable client that doesn't have a linux version I believe.

I was hoping that the news that ISO is likely to approve OOXML was an April Fool - it's certainly a joke of a sort, but not a very funny one!

Surely the colour scheme of the forums today is an April Fool's joke?

It looks awful and is barely legible.

Well I know my friends and I are getting my roommate, made him a poster of his favourite (and by favourite I mean not) bands that I'm gonna hang on the wall, and claim I've just heard their music and really like it. And, we're taking a rug from a friend down the hall and leaving a ransome note. We thought about putting his desk in the bathroom, like in The Office, but decided it was too much work.

Here's the complete list.

I uploaded Automatix into Ubuntu's universe repositories, which seemed to fool at least a few people and give some pretty good laughs on Planet Ubuntu.

As an extra teaser, I marked the upload to close Bug #1.

i read this in one of the free London newspapers -
BMW's war on dog wee (http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=130296&in_page_id=34)

A pet who relieves itself over the new model's wheels will get quite a buzz out of it – as an unpleasant 200volts shoots through its body. lol

Dr Hans Zoff, the boffin behind the Canine Repellent Alloy Protection system, said: 'Research shows that most BMW customers love to keep their cars clean – but dog fouling is a constant irritant.'looooool
