Good call, I recall back in the day when the April edition of an 
electronic engineering journal to which I subscribed always had a tongue 
in cheek April Fools goody to catch the unwary.  One such was (if I 
recall correctly) a special O'scope with a pre-anticipation rise time 
capable of depicting a butterfly waveform.
