Well, Christian's post was sent April 2nd (per the header), but it arrived here April 1st.  I have little notion of the time-space groundrules for April Fools over the Internet continuum, but I hope this was a joke; perhaps (-1*(-1*(joke))).

The deduping code shared the other day was, I thought, inspired.

the whole April Fools thing leaves me spinning for 24 hours: the joke within the joke, within the joke:

>>> def Fool(AprilFirst):
	if AprilFirst:
		print "April Fools"
		serious = 0
	else:
		print "No, I'm serious"
		serious =1
	Fool(serious)
	return "April 2nd"

>>> April=1
>>> Fool(April)
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
April Fools
No, I'm serious
