[olug] (OT) Any good April Fools jokes planned?

[Kevin]

Depends on the monitor driver. I used to have an XP laptop that would
gladly put the "bottom" of the screen at any of the four edges. A
former coworker was in the room I was in and we were all watching over
another coworker's shoulder when he decided to take my mouse and try
to take advantage of the rotation. I was watching him while he did so,
and when I realized what he was going to do, I instinctively hit ESC a
few times to get me back to the desktop. :) If I hadn't done that, I
might have let him go ahead with it, then hit Ctrl-Alt-UP to restore
it. :)
