1 April? That’s a good day to remember not to take things you read on the internet at face value. There are bound to be plenty of spoof stories appearing on normally serious sites (I wonder if normally spurious ones, like The Onion, print a piece of genuine reporting).

It probably isn’t a good day to mention that you can now, for a time at least, play Pac-man on Google Maps. I should have mentioned it yesterday when I first discovered the new option in the bottom left corner. I’m not a great one for arcade games so it didn’t hold my attention for long but at least you can verify the suggestion by visiting maps yourself.

Anyway, exercise more than the usual degree of caution in assessing the things you read today.
