Rene I do not appreciate retaliatory April Fools Jokes. My favorite uncle lost his life in an uncontrolled escalation of retaliatory April Fools Jokes. Somebody gave him a crankset fashioned from billet marzipan, and he rode it on his favorite trail. The cranks failed (being made of marzipan) and he plummeted to his early demise. I am scarred to this day. Strangely, I still like marzipan just fine.
