I'm proud to say, thanks to Mousepod, that would NOT be his first plush bacon strip.

Yes, really. Blocked as humor/jokes. Probably just caught in the firewall net. And the trick doesn't work :(

I'll put this one under "see it now before it goes away": Spend a weekend at Camp David (http://whitehouse.gov1.info/camp-david/index.html)




ETA: Apparently, the main site (http://whitehouse.gov1.info/) has been around a while. Some funny stuff on there.
It's April Fools' Day and you have to be careful about what you read on the Internet today. Apparently, someone created a fake White House website. You should visit that site so you can beware of the falsehoods. The spurious site can be found at http://whitehouse.gov. (http://whitehouse.gov/)

Nope, home PC is off and I'm not all that inclined to try and get around our firewalls.

If it isn't hosted/posted then I'll just have to look when I get home.

Did you know that "gullible" isn't in the dictionary? (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2010/04/01/scientists-discover-gene-and-part-of-brain-that-make-people-gullible/)

When Morris studied individual neurons within the supra-credulus, he found that gullibility was associated with the activity of a single gene called WTF1.

I knew about this prank that the BBC did in 1957, but had never actually seen it. Pretty funny considering the year, etc.
