As if dying isn't enough, now you can be fired for it?!
I found this document on the Kansas - Department of Administration site. It is a How-To document on how to terminate an employee who has died. I just thought the concept was funny. I guess I took it for granted that this process would be automatic.
"Why isn't Bob at work today?"
"Oh, you didn't hear? He died over the weekend."
"Typical. He'll find any reason not to show up. If he was tired of working here, then he should have just quit. I think this is a bit of an overreaction."

Who knew Satan was a fan of hockey?
The headline reads, "Satan gives Bruins Game 4 win in 2OT"
"Miroslav Satan scored a power-play goal after Buffalo was called for having too many men on the ice in the second extra period, and the Bruins beat the Sabres 3-2...on Wednesday night."
Honestly, I think I would have changed my name. My Dad was wondering if he pronounced it differently to avoid questions. Maybe sort of French-like, and it's "Say-tawn." Or sort of Arabic-like, and it's "Sach-tain." Or maybe like the fabric, and it's "Satin." Since names typically meant something in the family history, I'm a little afraid to ask what his family's heritage is. Maybe he's a descendant of Dr. Faust?

The Immortal Soul Clause
In a completely original April Fools joke, GameStation revealed that it now owns the souls of thousands of its customers. "The Immortal Soul" clause was added to demonstrate how few people actually read the Terms and Conditions for the website. Participants choosing to opt-out of the agreement netted themselves a £5 GBP gift-voucher. Only 12% of the customers did.
GameStation execs have assured customers that they will not be enforcing their legal claim to the souls.
