For those of us who follow the events on the official Magic: the Gathering website, the biggest April Fool of the lot was the announcement of Unhinged - the long awaited follow-up to Unglued - in the midst of a number of other hoax articles (all of which, we have since been assured were indeed hoaxes) this was the one bit of real news - the set is due for a November release.

I'm embarrassed to say that on 4/1, this one had me surprised all the way until the signature. Then I had a good laugh Smiley

P.S. On that day the encoding of "APRIL FOOLS DAY" in yellow characters wasn't there.

For some reason, the firewall at my school blocks the site.  Are there any mirrors?

Because of modulo, different bases, and significant digits, all numbers equal each other!

you could try google..
just drop the site url into the google search bar, and if the page is cached it should say so, and then you can view that..

Yes. I think that most reasonable skeptics will admit, if pressed, that mirrors do indeed exist.    Smiley
 
The BBC and Time magazine, for example, are both blocked here in China but I am able to access them both using http://anonymouse.ws/anonwww.html

We have the same probem at the school where I work, demonstrated with the site at the top of this page. The local (fascist) education authority finds it within their duty to filter web content. I could understand it within a school if it was blocking porn, racist propaganda, and so on, but as with most dictarorial régimes there seems little intelligence behind the choice of what we can view and cannot view. I thought that we were supposed to be able to celebrate the "freedom" we have in the West?

But the trouble with sharing our favourite anonymisers is that sooner-rather-than-later they too may get blocked.  
For myself, it is perhaps wiser to post them in a more cryptic form, such as
