LibraryThing April Fools Joke is delayed
I'm sure you all enjoyed GMail Autopilot and learning you were Obama's fourth cousin. But we at LibraryThing regret that our annual April Fools joke was delayed this year.
Luke "don't bump my awesome widgets" Stevens, Chris "collections-or-die" Holland, Mike "Facebook-or-die" Bannister and I have decided that other priorities in high demand—so high it's turning into Haiku—prevented us from spending the day tricking LibraryThing out with an OCLC logo, making all recommendations be for zombie books and suchnot.
Mike did succeed in injecting me onto every page of our development server, squeaking distortedly as a sort of drunk LibraryThing "clippy." but it but it took too much bandwidth and was simply too horrible to inflict on all. Also, we don't have a CEO. Also, Mike is fired.
So, we have decided to postpone our April Fools joke, reserving the right to fill your screen with unicorns (click "cornify") or other such foolery at any point in the next twelve months!

Does "Tippy tippy tin" even have lyrics?
Poor Mike
I clicked the link and didn't see any unicorns. Please tell me there's something wrong with the link and not that I've become so old and embittered that I can no longer see unicorns.
Oh dear... I came expecting torture, and I found unicorn talk? (pouts)
Nooooo! *sobs* Looks like the Cornify thing only worked and showed up on April 1st. It's gone! *criiiies* It was so much fun!! I meant to take screenshots of my screen filled with unicorn images!
..... *ahem!* Sorry.
You can find the unicorns at http://cornify.com/ and then press the (rather small) "cornify" button.
