April Fools pranks have apparently gotten a lot of people fired...

I also noticed that the pranks spread around China during April Fools seem to be very hardcore -- SARS in Hong Kong, assassination of Bill Gates, bombing Taiwan. I hope China's April Fool's prank for next year involves a nuclear standoff.
i think this is a april joke, but if it isn't than this sucks!
