ROFLMAO! This is a really good one! I admit that hen I was driving home today I did a lot of thinking about your message (when I should be breeding a new IB News bit), but the thought of an April 1 joke didn't ever occur to me. The most striking part of the message was IMO the bit where he wrote that his little son pointed him to your website. LOL! If that's the way awards are being granted in the USA, we've still a long way to go!
> Am I right on this, or is it all types of jokes?
Depends on the good taste of the person in question. But in general you are right: mostly reality jokes. Our newspapers have the tradition of writing one funny news bit that is not true. Today, for example, one paper wrote that our Greens have proposed a "Minister of Love"... Jan
