Best SparkFun stories for the day...

What's the best April fools prank you've heard for the day? From the internal SparkFun email list:

SparkFun is proud to annouce a new site feature. As you know, we're into to connecting people with their passions. So we'd like to introduce you to SparkSingles, a service for SparkFun customers and their friends.

SparkFun raided by the IRS, lost everything, files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Sad face :(

Flux capacitor: Energy star compliant with a max voltage of 10kV and 12,100A. Patented.
 
Instead of a snow day closing we're closing for a 'Sun' day. We live in Boulder. Neener, neener, neener.

I got it! Tell everyone that Spark International won the cease and desist. The case put us on the brink of bankruptcy, but a last minute unnamed investor came in and bought us, we are now know as Sparkgoogle. In other news, Sun's new owner Oracle has served us with a cease and desist with that name. They have agreed to settle if Nate wins a boat race against Larry Ellison and his silly American's cup ruining boat.

And from our customers:

Is the rumor true??? I heard SparkFun is being bought out by RadioShack!

Happy April 1st.
