Beware the Calends of April

Because I don't think everyone reading this is also reading debgeisler's journal (although you should), here's a link to the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time.

Thanks to fine hoaxes like these, no sane person will issue a legitimate news story on the first day of April. Every now and then, I've see groups in Fandom forget the date and issue a real announcement that day. Sometimes the announcements are so odd that people assume that they must be hoaxes.

Anime on DVD bans people who put up hoax anime stories on April Fools day. The ban lasts for a week. Lest it be that April 1st is the worst day to announce a schedule. New York Comic Con should be announcing their schedule on that day. When will people learn not to announce any news on April 1st.
