April Fools Day, 2009

There have been a lot of online pranks already today.

Wikipedia has entries like these:
  • ... that in 1825, the Court of Exchequer declared all contracts by hobbits illegal and void in England?
  • 1572 – Spanish general and governor Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba (pictured) lost his glasses in the town of Brielle, enabling sea beggars to gain the first foothold on what would become the Dutch Republic.
  • ... that Wikipedia now has an article about everything?
Google has announced Gmail Autopilot by CADIE.

It was another rainy morning, here in Portland. By the way, yesterday, askmen.com had Portland listed as number 22 in the entire world of men's favorite cities!
