April 1 is a day to fool the foolish and the wise. Here are a few of the better items we’ve seen today:
1. This morning on NPR, I listened to Rene Montaigne describe a new amusement park sponsored by The Economist magazine, “Econoland.”
2. Thanks to Rachel Maddow for this NASA page on how an astronaut had her head upgraded.
And my personal favorite…
3. The Tweetdoubler – from @andrew303, a tool that uses “patented compression technology” to enable a tweet on Twitter that is 280 characters long, rather than the currently allowed 140.
