01 Apr 2009 Yes, it’s April 1. Go on then, fool me.

Ah, how I detest April Fools’ day stories in newspapers.

But The Guardian proves once again its superiority. I didn’t intend to read the story, but couldn’t stop myself.

My favorite paragraph:

A mammoth project is also under way to rewrite the whole of the newspaper’s archive, stretching back to 1821, in the form of tweets. Major stories already completed include “1832 Reform Act gives voting rights to one in five adult males yay!!!”; “OMG Hitler invades Poland, allies declare war see tinyurl.com/b5×6e for more”; and “JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?”
