Aero-News: Quote of the Day
04.01.06 Special Edition:
ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we
reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing
on the day's events and issues.
Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if
particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves
become future Quotes of the Day.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"OK, folks... ANN did not suddenly
lose its mind (though, there ARE moments... oh, never mind).
Check the DATE. 04.01.06.
It's April FIRST... a/k/a APRIL Fool's Day.
Get It?
If you believed ANY of this stuff, you have been fooled,
bamboozled, and otherwise become yet another victim of our annual
attempt to enjoy the First day Of April with a little imagination
and a LOT of nonsense. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we
did."
Source: ANN's Jim Campbell, making sure that
ANN readers checked the date before they got too involved in any of
the stories we publish on April 1st of each year. Happy April
Fool's Day!
This year's insanity was brought to you by Jim Campbell, Rob
Finfrock, Pete Combs, Kevin O'Brien, Aleta Vinas, and a
bunch of folks who requested anonymity (who actually hope to
continue to work in this business) and who will kill us if we
actually name them. We think you'll agree that this year's bit of
tomfoolishness was some of our best yet. Have fun reading it!
