 * You know, i kinda feel my little George Washington (inventor) article got short shrift in the podcast as lacking due humor. Did you read comments like Talk:April_1%2C_2007 or Talk:Bat_bomb or at least half of Talk:George Washington (inventor) (oh, and at some point, people even removed some others' comments to avoid their supposed embarrassment).  A very large number of people were indeed quite successfully fooled into believing this true article was a hoax, and found this slightly boring man's life quite hilarious.--Pharos 08:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
