I wasn't trying to report anything because I'm sure everyone's seen it by now. I was trying to be silly, but I guess it flopped. Oh well.

D'oh. Sorry. I've had one of "those" days. My sense of humour has flopped. I shall pour myself a ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) and sit in the corner muttering now.

Chris supports April Fools when someone sends him a good idea.
There is an article on the CodeProject web server hardware you may find interesting: The New CodeProject Web Farm[^]

Articles still have the right tags, and the tags pages[^] are still there, albeit trimmed from what used to be about 20 pages to 10. So I suspect it won't be too hard to fix this.

Yeah I didn't think it was a big deal and I assumed everyone already noticed. I was just trying to be silly, which is why I didn't post this in site bugs.

We ran out of nametags this morning. Matthew raced down to the shops, grabbed some new ones, and they've been handed out to the article attributes so their tags now show properly.

I once saw sleepwear with a simple "Hello, My Name Is...HIGH MAINTENANCE" label emblazoned on the front. Had I bought them for the intended recipient, I probably wouldn't be here today. But your post--and your hamsters--reminded me of it.

I bought my wife the T-shirt with the nametag that read:
"Hello my name is:
Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father!
Prepare to die!"
Always good for a laugh.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I have it on good authority that the tags were allowed a last visit with family members and were then deleted with no pain or suffering to the tags.
So I think that 'mercilessly' might be a little overwrought here.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Yeah, I bet they answered a survey before joining the program. Maybe they should have a follow up program where the dogs do the same to the owners.

I though a followup cooking show, hosted by the (victimized pets) would be wonderful as they gather round and eat their ground-up owners from those little dog dishes.

You could pitch that to Discovery - they'd probably run it ...

Quote: A third asked animal rights group PETA to “save these poor dogs from this nightmare.”
The show's utter garbage, but the brain of that person's even worse. PETA would, under an impentrable aura of self-righteousness, murder all the dogs for the lulz and then toss the corpses in some random third party's dumpster.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ah reality TV - opiate of the masses without 3 brain cells to rub together. Sadly Oz seems to have decided that rubbish should be the major content of current tv programming.
I think it is a conspiracy by the streaming companies to make tv so bloody awful we will pay them for content.

So, I looked through the front page of the BBC website, interested to see this years April Fool gag. Maybe it's a sign of the times, but I can't work out which one (or ones) is the gag and which are true.
"Half of people don't know Covid symptoms, study finds"
"Runway dining at $540 a meal proving hit in Japan"
"Few with Covid symptoms self isolating, study finds."
"Rice indispensable, but areas of concern remain for England"
"Can we guess which number between 1 and 10 you're thinking of?" (No, they couldn't.)
"Capturing every hour of each New Year's Day for 24 years"
"How good are you at "adulting" really?
"Nike sues over "Satan Shoes" with human blood"
Give me strength.

news.com has some good ones at the moment too.

. . . and this is not even the finished result of the damage done to the general population by their "hand held devices". There will come a time that you will look back on these as the good old days.
U can make book on it.
