I'm going to create a reminder for next year, stay away from the internet on April Fool's day :|. This has been a weak day in the news.

It would be a lovely excuse for an internet holiday. Noted.

I was going to play the same joke today... got in really late to work because I was sick, so decided against it.. think I made the right call

So ... is this a joke? Or isn't it? Enderland answers their own question in the list of responses. I'm confused...

What confusion? This story is a complete waste of time, and it's getting upvoted on HN.

For all the articles we read about increasing productivity and trying to squeeze the most out of our day, we do seem to get back on that hamster wheel of distraction quite easily.

Is this itself an April Fools' joke?
