I was very tickled by that too. Thought it might add some spice to
your enjoyment of it (or to whatever reaction) if you did spot it.
Particularly with the follow ups. And, OK, I'll grant you the one
about the hotmail account but I don't know about the other part.
My other April Fools prank was actually on me, it was a total bust.
At the time, I think that Amazon still had the Firefly DVD box set for
something like $26. So I posted to the effect that Costco had it for
$19.99 but only at the store, hoping to start a stampede. A number of
people yawned and informed me that Sam's Club has had it even cheaper
than that for a while. For real. Boy did I feel like a dork.
Anyway me too loves both _Firefly_ and _Serenity_ very dearly. It's
just... an amazing and amazingly wacky achievement, however short
lived.
Cheers,
Jaime
