April Fools Watch

All of the April Fools jokes that make me laugh will get posted here throughout the day.

Google. "Page and Brin experimented with numerous avian motivators before settling on a combination of linseed and flax (lin/ax) that not only offered superior performance, but could be gathered at no cost from nearby open space preserves. This open space lin/ax powers Google's operations to this day, and a visit to the data coop reveals pigeons happily pecking away at lin/ax kernels and seeds."

Baseball Prospectus. This one actually had me going for a couple paragraphs. A good read.
