Rubénerd!

From a reputable news source:

In an unprecedented sociological shift, the number of people voicing disdain for April Fools Day jokes now outnumber those making the jokes.

Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling of the Peter Cook Institute chalked the shift up to smugness.

"[..] denouncing a day of fun while feigning intellectual superiority provides high returns with minimal effort. One is left surprised they don't see the irony that their complaining is now more deafening than that which they're complaining about."

The uniform makes him (and therefore this post) look more legit.

I was sitting at the Boatdeck Cafe this morning thinking of all the work I was supposed to be doing, and it was so overwhelming I decided to write a nonsensical Java application to tell us The Tale of Alan A'Dale instead.

Feel free to paste the code into your favourite text editor then execute it on your machine if you wish to feel the wondrousness. That is a word isn't it?

/**
 * Tells us The Tale of Alan A'Dale
 * Adapted by Ruben Schade 2009
 */

public class AlanADale {
  private String theTale = "\n";

  public String tellUsTheTale() {
    for (int count = 0; count < 3; count++)
      theTale += "This is The Tale... ";
    theTale += "of Alan A'Dale!\n";
    return theTale;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    AlanADale NotOnlyButAlso = new AlanADale();
    while(true)
      System.out.println(NotOnlyButAlso.tellUsTheTale());
  }
}
