    Oh, man, it has been a while. The last one I remember is PEP 404 (if you
    can find it :) ), dated 2011 and it wasn't an April Fool's...

    I thought this one was funny:

    Yea, it is funny. I commented on it.

    Sadly, between Daylight Savings time and a newer irrational PI π Day, I am afraid some April Foolers got thrown off albeit some may shower us with nonsense in May I.

    I heard it on reasonably believable authority that the FLUFL took the year off. Lamentable.

    Did you notice that Peter Norvig's factorial-operator attempts to
    replace one of the very first diamond-grade provisions of [the] FLUFL?

    Disgraceful behavior! So disrespectful!

    Send him to the Spanish Inquisition...


    Saying that, he (Peter) lost the opportunity to promote our new
    dev.movement. As he pointed-out, tests are likely to give one a false
    sense of security with regard to the correctness of code.

    Accordingly, join us in the noTDD philosophy. Like NoSQL is schema-less,
    noTDD is scheme-less (we have NO idea what we're doing).

    Don't be led-astray by tests. We're all [adult-]optimists here...

    Pi day isn't responsible, but it is because of changes to daylight
    saving. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures announced
    that, in order to gain a few more days of summer weather, all clocks
    would be put back by 96 hours at midnight on 31 March 2023. So April 1
    is now occurring on what would have been April 4. Expect the usual
    torrent of silliness to arrive shortly.
