It's better on 03:14:07 Tuesday, 19 January 2038. That's the end of the Unix epoch, 4294967296 seconds after 1 January 1970.

Then it all rolls over again.

Weird, I saw this and thought, "Hey, why are they doing the same thing they did last year?" It took me a while to figure out that they suggested pay-per-click last year, not this. Or was last year the HP ad? These jokes are always so financially oriented. I think a good one would be hiring Linus as news editor or deleting non-educational programs. This one was great, especially because of the changing ticker, adds some "interactivity."

I think a good one would be anything NOT on April fools, because we are always expecting it when they do it...

or if something like this really did happen around april fools, and in the news article about it they said "April Fools'" but the real April Fools is that it isnt an april fools like they said.

Its 1:00 AM my time, and your sentance confused me. I need coffee. (drinks coffee) Ahhh, now its my turn to write a confusing sentance: I can't believe that I believed that unbelievable article that made me believe that Magnus & them guys believed that they made us believe they were rich. ¿N¤w h¤w‘§ thàt f¤r àn über me§§ed up §entànce? (Drinks more coffe) Ok, now I can talk again. :Þ

¿Ñ¤w h¤w‘§ †hà† f¤r àñ übër m맧ëd ûp §ëñ†àñçë?

Translation: Now how's that for an uber messed up sentence.
I like the use of the special characters

Me? Use the character map? Never! OK...I did...

Oh No! Click the link above for terrible news :-)

the link doesn't work for me, whats the so unimaginably gut renchingly evil, despicable horror beyond the comprehention of mankind that appears on that site?

Let the flash animantion load...it may take a while.

Thats pretty funny. "That's a good question pan-pan".

Ummm. Pudding?

hehe...glad you had me see that. That was amusing. Homestarrunner is great

Whoa... that got me for a second. I was like "What!? They took away homestarrunner.com!?" But then I noticed it was a flash animation. :)

I wonder if you can buy stock in ThoraxCorp...

CALCS: $ 67.75
Change: 27000%

If there are 1000000 shares, and assuming Isaac and Magnus had all the shares at no cost, even by selling now they would only be worth a combined
$67,750,000 -- definitely not $76B+$43B!

And if they expect the stock price to rise (to get that worth, each share should be worth at least $119000 if they control the supply) -- why start at $0.25??!

And here I thought this was a calculator site :)

One million is the public float of shares, as it says in the article. Magnus and Isaac have much more.

Oh wow, I thought this was an April fool's joke, but no red border to the article, so its for real! Wow!

According to the tradition here, the red border will be added on April 2nd.

Yep...the blue border has taken yet another victim ;)

Thats Great. Yah, I'm glad I wasn't in elementary school today. April fools jokes are mean there. :-(

*breaks out laughing*

Dude, your brain must be dysfunctional! $76 billion? $43 billion? You've gotta be kidding!

Besides, Ticalc has no revenue stream = stock is completely worthless: if they decided to add fees, for example, most users would flee in a second and those precious webstats would crash.

Oh, we get plenty of money from the sublimal ads.

AHHHH! I'm being bombarded by sublimal messages!!! They're altering my presious last shards of logic with evil covert Crest Toothpaste commercials!! Oh the horror! What has humanity come to!?!

On a slightly less paranoid note. Did you know that the Bush administration used a sublimal commercail on public TV? During one of his commercails when the word "Democrats" was said the word RATS in white lettering was flashed up on the screen on a black background. Sublimal messages are not new however and contrary to many peoples believes they are very effective. They were experimented with some long while ago in movie theaters. Words or phrases like DRINK COKE or EAT were flashed up on the screen during the intermissions. Sales increased by 50% during the intermissions compare to intermisions without such advertising. It has been suggested that sublimal messages could even be used in billboards or magizines using slighly altered pictures. For example (and sorry for being crude) a few years back MARLBO (or however you spell that cigerete company with the camal) supposedly put a picture of a "happy" man in the design on the camel.

Actually, the word was "bureaucrats" not specifically democrats, though since it was a campaign ('00) commercial we can assume it was aimed towards the donkey party.
