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

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 .... 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.

POPSDiary of a deliberately spammed housewife By the time it was all over, after every bank-account phishing scam, Nigerian bank scheme, and offer for medication, adult content and just plain free stuff had been pursued. "I was horrified," says Mooney, a realtor by profession. "It's all snake oil. I'm amazed at what true junk is out there when you're clicking through on e-mail."

POPSPagan prisoners win right to have wands there's genuine concern prisoners are taking the system for a ride." Conservative MP Andrew Turner, who uncovered the new ruling, added: "This strikes me as bizarre. A lot of people would be worried about equating paganism with Christianity.". Brightest Blessings to Justice Reform Minister Maria Eagle. To Edward Garnier and Andrew Turner - grow up. Christianity is NOT "all that" to everybody.

POPSShips in Custody Bail Out?! O.K - That's the weirdest story I've ever heard. Ships in custody? Bail? "The release of its ship"?! Is it me, or does it sound like an April Fool Day prank executed too late?
