CERN researchers confirm existence of the Force

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider just recently started testing the accelerator for running at the higher energy of 13 TeV, and already they have found new insights into the fundamental structure of the universe. Though four fundamental forces – the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force and gravity – have been well documented and confirmed in experiments over the years, CERN announced today the first unequivocal evidence for the Force. “Very impressive, this result is,” said a diminutive green spokesperson for the laboratory.

The whole article is definitely worth a read

Play PAC-MAN in Google Maps

Welcome, Player 1! You can now play the classic arcade game PAC-MAN in Google Maps with streets as your maze. Avoid Blinky, Pinky, Inky, (and Clyde!) as you swerve the streets of some famous places around the world. But eat the pac-dots fast, because this game will only be around for a little while.

My brother's a bit of a social drinker and my mum called him saying everyone in the family is concerned and we've booked him into an AA meeting. It was pretty good.

this article was 100,000 times better than any stupid April Fools 'prank'.

I spent today panicking and trying to cling to the idea that my job isn't destroying my mind. That's not really very funny, is it?

I played a lot of pac man today now.

I actually found this today at college, and had no idea why the fuck it did it. Freaked me out, it did.

I usually look forward to ThinkGeek's gags. This year they were really kinda lame.

For the record, this is not an April Fools gag. It prompted much discussion in the office and I was the strongest arguer that it had to be a joke because who on earth would decide that it was a good idea?

Then I remembered the Fire Phone. And after that I remembered the value of my stock. Then I got sad.

Honestly that dash button is a pretty interesting concept once you get past the 'WTF' reaction. Also clever marketing because if there's one thing that makes money it's people being lazy. Give them a button to buy something without seeing what it costs, overprice it, massive profit.

I told my mother I'd joined the army. She bought it for a minute.

Best April Fools joke I experienced this year was definitely the newest Steven Universe episode. Had no idea going into it that it would be what it was, and holy christ did it fool me at least three times. I won't go too into it as to avoid spoilers, but man did it crack me up.

Oh don't worry bro, none of this is cannon.

[Slog Bait]

That episode was the only April Fools joke I experienced this year and I'm 500% okay with that.

[Bullet Magnet]

I knew it was coming, but I still thought that was Malachite rising out of the surf.

Crap. I need 6cc of moderation, stat!

[Mr. Bungle]

I just mean the spoiler of it being a crossover april foolsy thingy but whatever.

Yeah, I totally thought it was gonna be a huge, intense story episode with grave ramifications as soon as I saw stuff coming out of the ocean but, nope. Uncle Granpa. Well played, Sugar.

I guess it's a little too early in the season for something like that, though.

Crap. I need 6cc of moderation, stat!

Ah we're just talking about how fooled we got so I think we're good. Long as no one starts going off about Lion theories (and other head-canons), we should remain perfectly topical!
