    Howard Stern was running what I HOPE is an April Fools joke this morning...they had Tom read a statement that they had fired him, and had a couple of losers talking about how "America had spoken and was tired of the filth" and playing goddamn pop music with "an uplifting message."

    I really, REALLY hope it's an AFJ.

      Heh...this one's pretty good:

      http://www.nmrc.org/

      I am particularly fond of this:

      "NMRC founder Simple Nomad said, 'We had been bracing for a lawsuit from
      SCO since we are running Linux on a number of systems, so this Novell
      thing is really out of left field.'. NMRC went on to state they probably
      would 'ignore' the lawsuit, since they 'seriously doubt anyone would
      show up to court, including the judge' because of the loss of market
      share by Novell in recent years."
      perl -e 'print pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'

          There is a pretty good list of hacker related April Fools hacks over at http://www.hackerintel.com [Hacker Intel] Nothing as great as Mitnick whisteling his way out of jail a few years ago but still a good crop this year.

            Everyone at work knows I can be an impatient driver when behind the wheel. I had my wife call in to work this morning to say that I hit a person in the bank parking lot and since someone said I was mad they are thinking about charging me for murder.... In my line of work you can't step out of line or it's curtains. :>

                www.slashdot.org and www.thinkgeek.com are always good for a laugh on April 1st

                On the radio this morning, one of the local stations had one of thier DJ's doing his 'going away' show because he got a job as a broadcaster with the WWE (his dream job). They sprung the news that it was a bullshit setup *After* he told everyone off and burned his bridges. Really funny stuff because they had set him up a month ago and he'd been talking about it for weeks.

                      That was a really fucked up afj this morning, but it certainly served as a wake up call. Sure satillite radio is an alterative but shit we all know the story no need to get political. Lets just keep in mind our rights and write our congressmen.

                        Maddox is the second wittiest dude in the world. The list looks like this:

                        1. Chris
                        2. Maddox
                        3. The Reverend Jesse Jackson

                        After the top three it is tough to differntiate levels of wittiness...but Maddox is the shit.
