For some reason, all of the schools let out eraly on April 1st so that all of the kiddies can come to newsgroups and post Lame April Fools Day posts. Dumbasses.

In a surprise move, Microsoft have released a hyper-realistic motor racing simulation featuring their ever popular purple puppet, Barney as chief technician and super pilot of an F1 Ferrari. "This will knock the diapers off girly sim like Grand Prix Legends", claimed Llib Setag, the Project manager of the Barney F1 project, "and it will sell millions as well". MS Barney Goes Racing will be released as part of Windows 99 which is due for release in 2003. In response, racing software house, Papyrus, have lauched a anti-trust case against Microsoft in the Federal courts, claiming that it is anti-competitive to release this joke as part of their operating system. Microsoft's defence seems to rest on the fact that all their operating systems are jokes anyway. Cheers and a happy April Fools, Paul

It was confirmed today that Bill Gates will subsitute for the injured Luca Badoer in the Minardi for the Brazillian F1GP next week. After practising for hours on end with the ultra realistic MS Cart Precision Racing he feels ready to take on the world's best drivers. The Minardi team have offered the seat for an undisclosed amount of money, but rumours surfacing suggest the team will now be called the Microsoft Minardi Y2K OK! team for many years to come. The team have spent most of the day installing Windows 98 onto their computers, and predict big things from the change. Speaking to team management, many feel they now have the last elements required to become a winning team - Bill Gates & Windows 98. The software run by the team now should run faster and make the car perform better than ever. Other teams contacted about the news last night, shrugged off this high talking, instead laying bets as to how many restarts would be required in Brazil on Sunday.

Too bad he smashed into the wall when trying to push the ctrl-alt-del buttons on his steering wheel when his head up display showed an abort, retry error at 300KPH.
