6:57 AM EDT 		I really hate to be the first to mention it, by why are the April Fool's posts showing up on LXer on April 2nd? I think this ship has already sailed.

Also certain readers on sites that will go unnamed have trouble recognizing the humor without a label even when it's that date. So let's relax a bit and let us enjoy ourselves just a bit more. It's a weekend.

Also, the Russian flight to the space station may have affected our thinking.

Certainly!

Just don't get over heated doing it, is sooooooo uncool.
