Stuart, you think this is an April Fools joke/prank? To quote Jack Paar: "I kid you, not!".

For Tipsters who are wondering who the hell Jack Paar is/was, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonight_Starring_Jack_Paar P.P.S. Shame on everyone who'd think I'd joke about such a matter. Next time in class, just ask your students how many of them have had their heads explode.
