Happy April Fool's Day!

I have to admit that I slacked on putting together an April Fool's Day joke for you...so I'm going to harken back to last year when the UVa Libraries posted this hilarious video. There were a few people around here who actually believed this for a few hours:

I'll start thinking about my 2016 joke now so I have something great to share.
