P.S. Hope you had a nice April Fool's Day. MFR's post is hilarious. This Gmail "Custom Time" joke was my favorite, though, and I almost fell for it.

"I just got two tickets to Radiohead by being the 'first' to respond to a co-worker's 'first-come, first-serve' email. Someone else had already won them, but I told everyone to check their inboxes again. Everyone sort of knows I used Custom Time on this one, but I'm denying it."
