[Python-Dev] April 1st jokes (was: Base-96)

[Guido van Rossum]

Hm, I'm sure there were many more, perhaps in different places. I
recall participating with Larry Wall in the announcement of Parrot, a
Python/Perl merger -- hence the name of the Perl 6 VM. And others. I'd
love to see people post more references here! (Georg already posted
the April Fool's PEPs.)
