POPSSilvio Berlusconi's wife Veronica demanding divorce - sick of his lying and cheating Miss Lario, 52, who has three grown-up children by the prime minister, accused him of lying about the encounter, during which he gave Miss Letizia a gold and diamond necklace worth 6,000 euros. "He said to me, 'You know, I have to go down to Naples, I have an important summit on rubbish disposal early tomorrow morning,' she said. It was, she added, "the umpteenth lie."

POPSPeaches And Worry "Then images of the starving artist enter my thinking: to grow beautiful peaches or nectarines and die poor -- but having created art! Ultimately, I begin to take myself much too seriously. This is just a peach. I'm just a farmer. Obsessive behavior is part of caring, all part of a richness at harvest, all natural and wonderfully human. I can taste emotions in the summer. You can't have wonderful flavor without risk and worry. Without the bitter and sour you can't taste the sweet and savory."

POPSComics, Magicians, and Mimes, oh my! From the Patriot-News Editorial: Gov. Ed Rendell is trying to do his part to aid the citizens of the commonwealth. His latest plan is to use about $15 million from the federal stimulus funds pouring into the state to try and change the mood of Pennsylvanians. The Patriot-News has learned that the money will be spent to hire clowns, mimes, magicians, street performers and comedians (nothing blue) who will be dispatched to malls, fairs and festivals across the state to boost morale. The merriment will be conducted through a new Headquarters of Economic and Emotive Efforts, or HEEE. So the next time you go to the Colonial Park Mall, look for the guy juggling bowling pins outside the Sears store, but if you don't catch him, we at least hope reading this will make you chuckle. After all, it is April Fool's Day. See more in Editorials

POPS China's Cybertooth Espionage These reports come while the Obama administration is conducting an extensive review of the nation's cybersecurity situation. That report was due April 17 and expected to repeat the recommendations of a study done by the Center for Strategic and International Studies at the request of President Bush. A year ago, the computer network at India's Ministry of Internal Affairs was attacked by Chinese hackers as were the government of Belgium's computers a month later. A cyberattack in June 2007 crippled Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' computer system, leaving some 1,500 Pentagon computers offline for weeks. Among the military units that have been successfully "hacked" are the Army's 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and the 4th Infantry Division. The Canadian research group Information Warfare Monitor reports that a cyberespionage network based in China had infected 1,295 computers in 103 countries and penetrated systems containing systems containing . . . .

POPSGlobal Warming is NOT TRUE???!!!! SO Why Floods Are Expected Soon? Wall Street, a few meters above sea level, will also be swallowed, along with much of New York City, as ocean circulation winds down in the Atlantic, subjecting the Northeast to hyperviolent storms and surges. (Of course, given its role in our current "econopocalypse," few might not consider that such a bad thing.) Another world away, southern Africa has been swamped by floods worse than anything the region has experienced in decades, which has killed over 100 and made 100,000 homeless.

POPSConficker Worm Awakens to Drop Potentially Dangerous Payload The Conficker worm is currently active and updating via peer-to-peer (P2P). Researchers and security experts are analyzing the code of the software that is being dropped onto infected computers. We suspect that the code may be some type of logging program that has the ability to steal or compromise data on an infected system. Many people are surprised as to the new developments of Conficker as they thought April 1st marked the date for Conficker performing any malicious actions but they failed to realize that Conficker only downloaded an update on April Fool’s day. Judging from today’s actions, it is safe to say that we have yet to see the true devastation of Conficker.C.

POPSApril Fool’s Day and Still No Sign of Conficker.C Was Conficker.C really an April Fool’s Day joke? Many experts believe we may see other malicious actions take place from Conficker.C in the days to come. The April Fool’s Day Worm or Conficker.C infection has not caused any major issues as of yet. We have kept an eye on Coficker.C all day for April 1st and so far and we do not have any incidents to report. This does not mean everyone is in the clear when it comes to being infected with Conficker.C as experts continually work with 116 countries to combat the worm before anything malicious happens.

POPSEven Funnier Now It’s a pretty awesome April Fool’s prank as far as pranks go, so today on The Day of Fools I salute you, Eric Thompson. Well played. I blogged yesterday about Eric Thompson (of thegunsource.com) and the April Fool’s Prank he played on people who subscribe to his mailing list. Well, Eric left me a note in the comments of that post, which was really the cherry on the perfect sundae of prank: Even Funnier Now t worked a little too well. Our servers got crushed and I received a call from the ATF DC office stating that they didn’t find it “that funny” considering all the calls they are getting. http://gunnuts.net/2009/04/02/even-funnier-now/

POPSApril Fool's Prank: Machine Guns Legal Again I blogged yesterday about Eric Thompson (of thegunsource.com) and the April Fool’s Prank he played on people who subscribe to his mailing list. Well, Eric left me a note in the comments of that post, which was really the cherry on the perfect sundae of prank: t worked a little too well. Our servers got crushed and I received a call from the ATF DC office stating that they didn’t find it “that funny” considering all the calls they are getting. I love that people were fooled enough by the prank to actually go an call the ATF to verify the news. I literally laughed so hard I almost cried when I was reading that. Anything that causes grief for the pencil pushers at ATF is okay with me. Well played Eric, well played indeed. humor Even Funnier Now April 2, 2009

POPSObama's Gift to the Queen Mr. Obama rather unceremoniously handed the Queen a shopping bag from the Duty Free shop at Heathrow airport. It contained a signed paperback copy of Dreams of My Father, purchased at the WH Smith shop at the airport, a bottle of Johnny Walker Scotch (black label), a CD of the Swedish band ABBA's greatest hits (still in shrink wrap with a 2-for-1 sticker on it) and ten bags of M&Ms with the presidential seal on them. The Queen responded in a rather flat: "How delightful."

POPSDeer with fangs savages dog - this is not an April Fool joke He said: 'In 30 years as a vet I have never seen this before. My personal view is that it could be a Chinese Water Deer that has escaped from Woburn Safari Park. They have long canine teeth that have caused deep slices. They are very nasty wounds.' Chinese Water Deer were introduced to Woburn Park in the late 19th century after they were imported from their native north-east China. Several are thought to have escaped in recent years.

POPSApril .... You Know . Finally, ending up where we started with the car companies, I watched the press conference by the Obama-appointed Chairman of GM, Fritz Henderson claiming that GM would cover up to nine months of car payments for people who bought a GM vehicle then lost their job. . I thought that had to be an early April Fool's joke. Where would Fritz Henderson get the money to do that? I mean, that would be just about as funny as giving mortgages to people to buy houses who … . Oh. Wait a minute. You mean my tax dollars - already going to people who bought houses they couldn't afford - are now going to go to people who buy cars they can't afford? Looks like the joke's on me.

POPSPC Virus 'Time Bomb' Precautions And Remedies We're less than a day away from a global computer meltdown — or a terrific April Fool's joke. At some point on April 1, the Conficker virus, which has quietly infected millions of PCs worldwide to herd them into a "botnet" of linked machines, will phone home for new instructions. What it'll do next is anyone's guess. It could muster enough silicon firepower to take down any Web site on the planet, or send out enough spam to fill the inboxes of every e-mail user on Earth. It could offer itself up to the highest bidder, mostly likely an Eastern European cybercriminal. Or it could do what it's been doing for months — nothing. If it turns out you are infected, Microsoft's put up instructions on how to clean your PC, but it's not easy. If you're not, downloading and installing Microsoft's latest software updates should protect you.

POPSMan foils bank robbery after assuming it was an April Fool Richard Crabb, prosecuting, said: "Prior to Mr Stewart's intervention terrified staff believed Davison was an armed robber. They were going to hand over a pre-packed bundle of marked notes." The court heard Davison, of Torquay, Devon, attempted to raid the bank just hours after appearing at a local court on a charge of criminal damage. He spent 403 days in custody on remand, which was the equivalent of a 30-month sentence, so he avoided a further jail term and made the subject of a two year community order.

POPSConficker worm activates on Apr. 1 The scariest thing about the Conficker worm is that we don't know what it's supposed to do; the infected computers will form what may be the most powerful parallel computer, but to what end? Is it a prank? A giant spam engine? Something more nefarious?
