For some reason, I've either never heard of or don't remember this particular baseball story, but it's kinda amusing. Also, fuck April Fool's Day. Actually, I could care less about the day, especially since it gave us things like this. Actually what I'm trying to say is fuck Slashdot on April Fool's Day. It becomes impossible to tell what news is real and what isn't, and there comes a point in the day where the editors go apeshit and are posting stupid, unfunny crap every five minutes. I get enough of dorks thinking they're clever on that site without needing it fed to me at that rate.

Before you say "Hey, dummy, just don't read Slashdot on April 1," don't. You clearly do not understand Slashdot or its readers. Sure, it's full of annoying fuckheads whose biases and agendas are full well known (editors and commenters alike), but it's fucking addicting. Much like drinking, smoking, coffee, internet chatrooms, and any other kind of bad behavior you can think of that people engage in, it's a hard habit to break. The fucking site is updated several times a day with, well, news for nerds, and there are occasional nuggets of actual cleverness or good discussion. That still doesn't justify the bullshit that is April Fool's for Slashdot.
