    April Fool's Day

    March ends and April begins in a few East Coast minutes. Tread lightly, DBR. Our collective nerves are frayed. Something at UNC's expense, maybe? Roy Williams and John Deere combine forces on a series of all-terrain buses? Sylvia Hatchell to guest judge TV's "Project Runway"?

    Mods, feel free to move this thread to Off-Topic and repurpose it for various April Fool's Day 2013 pranks from the Internet and real life. I am loath to start new threads but felt someone needed to launch a pre-emptive strike.

    apparently announced earlier that they were picking the best Youtube video, and that the whole thing was an 8-year competition. Read it this morning, will edit with a link when I get a moment. Housework calls.

    Google has been known to release actual products on April 1, most notably GMail.

    April Fool's Day is the lowest form of "holiday."

    Nah, that would be New Year's Eve-- AFD is great!

    You probably don't like puns, either.

    I am embarrassed to admit that I momentarily forgot the date and fell for Google Nose.

    I finally got my wife yesterday. When she got up, I told her that I read on DBR that Coach K was so incensed with the officiating Sunday that he blasted the officials at the post game press conference. The NCAA immediately fined him $50,000 and suspended him for the first 10 games next year. That made Coach K so mad that he quit (retired) on the spot. So now Duke is looking for a new coach. It took her a few seconds to realize what day it was.
