That is way too much work. Especially for something I saw on tumblr.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I know this is an April Fool's joke, but it's still a genius idea:
Every chef needs a sous chef, so this was probably inevitable: a food truck to support other food trucks.
And New York has one now, with the launch next Monday of Colonel Mustard, a condiments purveyor that will tail other gourmet trucks and provide an assist with mustard, ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, various salts and peppers, Branston pickle, maple syrup, chocolate sprinkles, horseradish, ranch dressing, and salsas. Each condiment is $1. The CondiMental®, a mix of all of them, is $6.
This shadow food station is the brainchild of Richard Burns, a former publisher who quit his day job to chase his dream of providing artisanal condiments to New Yorkers. "I never thought French's cut the mustard, so to speak," he said.
Colonel Mustard's mission is to roam the streets, looking for other food trucks. When it finds a compatible rig (using proprietary GPS technology), it will park and open shop.

Hmm. I never considered it work, just a bonus, but if it was reposted then that's a different story.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Has anyone tried searching for "helvetica" on Google recently?
EVIL!
Heh - okay, that's way better than Gmail Motion.
I really liked the pictures of the people "using" Gmail Motion and Google Docs, particularly the one of the 3 people making the pie chart.
The Hulu April Fool's is awesome [link] And Also effective, because I now want to watch all of those shows!
I love their attention to detail, including buttons to download Netscape 3.0 and IE, as well as a button to build your own Web page at Geocities.
Tsk, tsk, Dinosaur comics. Gay couples reproduce too.
Somebody didn't read one of the hidden texts (the contact one, not the mouseover).
Eh. I like Dinosaur Comics a lot, but I think it's kind of shitty to rely on a mouseover that not everyone knows about to slip in your "SRSLY not heteronormative folks! KTHXBAI!"

Desginer Drug jewelry. Not an April Fool's Day joke.

Hah. The helvetica (and same thing happens if you search for comic sans) joke doesn't work in Opera. Thanks, google.

At some point early this morning I woke to a news broadcast with a Barbazon College graduate mocking experts who say that spoiled food is more of a health worry in the US than radioactive contamination from Japan.
It made me wonder if I should test her gullibility by e-mailing a parallel between iodine and mercury (they're both used in thermometers, so they're the same thing, right?) and encouraging her to drink lots of the latter in light of the current iodine tablet shortage.
