And I worked so hard on my own April Fool's stories.

Ah, the gag's been done before by The Onion, using the Congo Civil War as the setting. Something along the lines of "Civil War Buff Joins Civil War."

The site, aqoul.com, means in Arabic, reason.com (sort of), but dont sue.

This was the worst joke that wasn't. Where is Matt in our hour of need?

Rip-off of the old Mike Moore bit

Not surprised it's been done before. Immediate inspiration was this exile.ru editorial.

How do you say "yo no comprendo" in Arabic?

dear douglas,

"yo no comprendo" in arabic: "ana ma bafham" (levantine) or "ana mishfaahim" (egyptian). in modern standard it'd be "ana la afham".
