I sure enjoyed writing my April Fool's post yesterday. I've always gotten a big kick out of the day but rarely can keep a straight face long enough to pull a prank.
I wanted to be clear that I probably would qualify for type 2.41 if there were such a thing. I was making fun of myself and the media.
