Spot the fool?
Apr. 1st, 2010 08:18 pmI didn't realise it was April Fools until around midday when I read Stross' post about his decision to start writing human/unicorn romantic fiction. I struggled to find any stories in the newspaper that were drastically less plausible than any of the others and, like the good good post-modernist I inevitably am but would like not to be, I was forced to conclude that when the world is quite as absurd as it is, it is pointless to try and separate truth from satire.
More importantly, I noticed — or, more accurately, it was pointed out to me — that Robin Milner's obituary in today's Guardian was written by none other than Martin Campbell-Kelly.
