word to the wise

When you're surfing the internets and come across things like this or
this, try not to forget what day it is. (and I don't mean Wednesday)

Any, uh, interesting information that you've found out there today?

one need look no further than the Digg homepage for inspiring interestingness today. But my favorite joke so far was receiving a notice from a Facebook app called "We're Related" that said Baack Obama had confirmed me as his fourth cousin once removed.

Here's a good one from the Beligan site Brusselslife;
Manneken-Pis. Notre petit ket de Bruxelles ne fera plus pipi de 22h à 7h du matin pour encourager le développement durable et préserver notre planète du réchauffement climatique.

I wonder why it's called "poisson d'avril" in French?

Thanks those are great.
No one played any jokes at my work, though I had to page my child's pediatrician this morning and I was hoping he didn't think it was a joke!
