Default April Fooling...

I will guess that April Fool's 2010 has begun here. I don't see any two letter words anywhere. (Creating posts with all words containing more than two letters proves challenging. Also, one letter words seem okay) Even thread titles seem affected. (Note that Pii Day 2009 became Day 2009) Has anyone else noticed any other tomfoolery?

I swear I had 831 posts, now should 832, but maybe one post only consisted two letter words?

Who said that I can't use two letter words? If I want to use them, then by golly I will!

Just trying out the two-letter trick:

it

Edit: That's odd! It hasn't disappeared yet!

Edit 2: The Pi Day thread appears to have reverted to its original title. It isn't midday yet!
