Why is everybody firing off their jokes a day early this year? Just seems a bit... premature.

It is because most people don't browse the web on Saturdays. ;)

It is also April 1st for those who are across the pond or in Australia ;)

They tend to release one of the items as a real thing when it gets enough attention, though. Today I'm hoping for the Hot Pockets sleeping bag.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Be careful on inserting this (or any G34 chip) into the socket. Once you pull that restraining lever, it is either a good install or a piece of silicon jewelry.

I'd like a Swear Jar...

But they don't always. I'm still waiting on my Batman family car decals and Groot Beer (+Rocket Fuel).
On second thought, let's not go to TechReport. It's infested by crypto bull****.

gog.com has a super cool one. Press Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A and you'll be taken to a pixel art screen and have a choice of a very bad Pong clone(Ball moves too damned fast!) and a decent version of Snake.

The cool part is because the screen is so damn well made. It's beautiful.

Not sure if BW drew the last panel (currently the topic of much debate on the BB Facebook page), but I'm sure that BB cleared it before doing it.

You also need to check the byline on the accompanying "NYT article".
