  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:

    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.
