This is [[April Fool's Day]]. Some April Fool's hoaxes for this year:

*[[Microsoft Corporation[[]] agrees to purchase the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] for an undisclosed sum. [[Wikipedia]] is to be merged with [[Encarta]]; an access fee of 99 cents per article retrieved will be instituted once the [[software upgrade]] to [[Windows NT]]-based [[server]]s is complete. [[Office Assistant]] is expected to be added in the immediate future, once voice actors for "it looks like you're vandalizing an article" can be found.  
(contracted; show full)
*The [[National Archives (UK)]] revealed that during the [[Cold War]], there were British plans to use [[chicken]]s to regulate the temperature in a [[nuclear bomb]]. 
*The [[Guardian]] [http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1183266,00.html revealed] that the [[1954]] [[World Cup]] winning [[German]] team may have been given performance-enhancing injections.
