Scientists usually refrain from April fools jokes in their
area of research, for the simple reason it would appear they were
"crying wolf" or "the sky is falling." Or more
to the point, they don't let those jokes get out to the media, they of
corse, play them on their colleges, where they have more control.

decided against writing something outlandish like, "My last WU found
ET!" for April Fools day. Wouldn't it be fun just to whip the
media into a frenzy with a little hoax though, it would be a little more
exciting than tax cuts and fiscal policy, no? Oh
well.
