I’ve no doubt that Mike’s traffic can make this turnaround a success, especially considering that a large number of his commenters revel in playing the dead pool game. Good luck, Mike! (And this was a really, really excellent April Fool’s joke!)

Looks like Mike’s joke sextupled their traffic overnight. What a wonderful power to have…

Over at GreenOptions, our April fools post literally convinced people that (for instance) ExxonMobil was tapping whale oil as a source of biodiesel to appear ‘green.’
