Sorry to hear that there were so many idiots out there, Dan. Explanations always kill the joke. Hey, I have an idea…

james: surely the sarcasm tag would have to come at the BEGINNING … preferably before the headline, to have any effect :)

maybe a “/sarcasm” at the end of the posts in the future will spell it out a little better for people that a “yoshi delivering news” just might be, maybe, possibly, a joke. lol…great write up, i loved it. and i’m still waiting for my nes themed macbook pro. i think it shipped today actually. ;)

Posted on December 28th by coincidence, it could be some sort of sign? As for your update on checking my sources, I did. If a respectable blogger and a magazine, with little respect, break the news independently – there is no way it’s not true.

You almost fooled me, but the “f” that does not fit in and ugly kerning/spacing in the Podfondo logo gave you away!

And they say obsessing about fonts is useless, Ha! :)

So how much are you asking for that bridge? I’m totally in the market for a bridge.

I look forward to the Podfondo, but I wonder why there’s no mention of the free pony that’s been rumored as part of the package. I hope they didn’t cut it from the bundle.

I got quite excited until I read: “… exploratory meeting … took place on April 1, 2006.”

Now I’m sulking.

Conor: haha! I do speak Spanish passably, but I didn't realize that Dec 28 was "Day of the Innocents" when I posted this. For the enlightenment of others, I found this link which explains some of the Spanish seasonal traditions, including Dec 28:

Many foreigners who are in Spain become very confused as absurd or incredible news appears in the papers, municipal governments stage baffling practical jokes on their citizens, and friends and acquaintances cannot be trusted for their word.
