Now there’s a slick way to show you’ve taken the time to validate your pages without using images. Slim W3C buttons, done entirely with style sheets. They look good in all the browsers I’ve tested so far (except Netscape 4.79 on Linux, but that’s no surprise). (via mark via zeldman)

I’ve already seen a few mentions of the day of practical jokes, but there are three variations of the spelling.

1. April Fools Day
2. April Fool’s Day
3. April Fools’ Day

My newly purchased dictionary and dictionary.com say April Fools’ Day, but my almanac says April Fool’s Day. Two sites about the history of the day also use April Fool’s Day.

It doesn’t look like Google even cares about the placement of the apostrophe and if there isn’t one, the results are only slightly different.

April Fools Day (74,300)
April Fool’s Day (63,200)
April Fools’ Day (74,300)

I hope the war doesn’t dampen funny people’s desire to make others chuckle, because gosh darn it, I want to chuckle.
