Today’s Show: Pranks, Jokes, Scam, Virii, Silliness, Nonsense, Legos, Magic, Sentient Computers, Bacon, Bigfoot

April Fools…

It had to be said, but today is a day dedicated to nonsense and all of its silly little ilk. I love April Fools day, not just because of what it represents, but also because a truly good prank takes dedication, hard work and a sense of style. its easy to be mean, and funny. Its even easy to set up prat falls and slapstick, in theory but a truly great prank takes epic effort. Today we salute some which come close, some which fail and some which aren’t pranks at all but sure seem like it. Its an action packed episode from front to back so I hope that you enjoy.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Alright this is silly, but that is the point…

Over on Twitter there was a strange missive put out by @ZeFrank concerning his allegiance to the blue team. Hearkening back to his days of summer camp and frolicking through the tulips no doubt. It took me, and quite a few other people who were not on when the message came out a few minutes to understand why there were team colors being put under various people’s profile picture.
