Yes, I was April Fooled. This morning, while all the hubbub was going on about GMail, I saw a post on a popular discussion list from someone who had swallowed the press release hook, line and sinker. So I posted back that it was B.S. And, of course, in true Murphy's Law fashion, it appears as if the new service is genuine. So Google fooled me into thinking that GMail was B.S. and I bought it. Oops.

PowerBar Founder Dies of Heart Attack

Brian Maxwell, PowerBar founder and marathon runner, died Friday of a heart attack at the age of 51. I don't mean to disrespect the guy or his family, but this occurred only the day after Jimmy and I were taking a cigarette break on the fire escape at the office, discussing an episode of The Simpsons in which PowerBars were parodied. I recalled a quote:

Wake up, Homer! Those PowerSauce Bars are just junk! They're made of apple cores and Chinese newspapers!"

That's all I'm sayin'...
