April Fool's joke indeed, although the original poster screwed up by posting it too early (Eastern Standard Time produced the above date-time stamp). Not April 1st in the U.S. or anywhere to the west. |

Not April 1st in the U.S. or anywhere to the west. You mean, when I played April Fool jokes back in England, I had to wait till 5am just in case some American heard about it and found it unfunny? That time I was in New Zealand in spring (or "autumn" as they call it), I had to wait until, like, April 3? I think the OP was in Aus (check the crosspost). If he had waited until the East Coasters allowed the joke, he would have been subject to the "not funny after midday" rule at home. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, damned if it wasn't funny anyway. Have I let all the air out of this one now? -- David Brooks |

In North American and South America, it was NOT April 1st, it was March 31st. This just demonstrates that Aussies aren't good joke-tellers. |

After bitching at me for a spelling *flame* I do hope you're joking above. Being an aviation newsgroup - surely UTC should apply ? Graham |

The clocks in my house and on my computer are on local time, just like virtually everywhere. Posting an "April Fools Day" joke on March 31st is LAME, and the "joke" was LAME to begin with. |
