@jamessflee Not quite the same, but in Australia we recently had a dispute about the use of the name “Jackson’s” decided by Jackson J https://t.co/jvLc7Eie4I

@AequoEtBono If I was acting for the plaintiff, I don’t think I could resist the temptation to write “it’s on like Donkey Kong” in my letter serving the claim and statement of claim.

Australia have been eliminated from the Champions Trophy.

England have also been eliminated from the Champions Trophy, but achieved that more quickly, more efficiently and with less effort than Australia.

Result: moral victory to England.

February 16, the day Steven Bradbury won his gold medal in 2002 and the birthday of Cathy Freeman in 1973 and Vegemite inventor Cyril Callister in 1893. Almost qualifies it to be our national day.

C is Latin, the root of all modern languages, the whole universe used to speak it.

C++ is French, it’s Latin with fancy rules, used by the elite around the world & in specific circles.

JavaScript is English, everybody speaks it, most speakers speak it poorly and others don’t bother learning another language.

Java is German, it’s verbose, over-complicated and it made me cry several times. I won’t elaborate.

Python is Esperanto, it was created to be so easy everyone could speak it. Its speakers could benefit from a shower once in a while.

Rust is Russian, most speakers have an authoritarian left background and want to spread it worldwide.

The cruelest April fools jokes are the ones where they announce things I desperately want 😭

[Georgia Rajic @georgjar]

April Fools jokes should be funny and not hurt people like the ABS have hurt me today.
