Microsoft Monkey Colony on Mars
Microsoft has announced that a team of monkeys will be shot into space in 2005 to establish the first Martian Colony. At a recent press conference, Bill Gates confirmed, "We are already training the monkeys to do simple tasks like reboot the space ship when it blue screens. The space vehicle will be running our newest product, SpacePod 2004. This product will instruct the monkeys how to colonize Mars and establish trade with the Martians. We intend to monopolize this market before Human travel to Mars is possible."

Research has just found a new internet virus that is becoming more and more infectious. It causes the host it attaches itself to, to believe everything that it reads on the internet - even when blatently its a lie!

No offence here - but I think some ppl have just provided some valuable extra research into this new disease.

That was good for April 1st joke, but it's over now, get a life ppl, did you actualy read the page? To say it is hilarious is to say the least. And it's been discussed here already.
