Wishing everyone a happy April Fools Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_fools) from the ISC.  I'm not a big fan such silliness, but I appreciate the important lessons it tries to teach.

 

Some of the fun that's crossed my screen today:

Today's signifigance makes a good opportunity to educate your friends and neighbors about the everyday April Fools pranks going on in your email boxes.  Teach them the skills to recognize legitimate websites, avoid clicking on links in unsolicited email, recognize spoofed email, and think critically.
