That would have been an understatement. But I'm wondering if there are going to be an repercussions from this - probably for the person releasing the hoax to the media. They have probably been asked to leave....

It very well could have been an April Fool's day joke gone bad. First off, it was a month late, and second, it took 11 calendar days to say it was a joke - even after it was published on MSNBC.

I mean come on. There is something missing. This is not a nice little "Oh, gee. Ha! Ha! You got us."

And to what "Mr. Anderson", (sorry Duke, still getting used to that) is saying, I think there should be a few more folks walking out the door, like the editors of MSN and MSNBC, the PR guy, the quality control people, and the marketing guys.

Do we think this happened?

I don't. They tried something (I don't know what for) and it was laughed off the planet.

Oh, there's no doubt heads will be rolling here, but I wonder if it will ever come to light what really happened.

The problem is that it is almost believable - silly, but you could see it happening. Now either is a mark of genius knowing something like this could be accepted or just plain stupidity on someones part.

I'd really love to know the whole story.

Anyone want to second a nomination to have Mr. Anderson to lead the investigation into Microsofts plans for toilets with Web Access? We will also need committee members to assist him!
