Girls attempt real-life version of video game
This made me laugh, the article is here.

My sympathy for the girls. Hope they won't be sent to a forced labor camp or get institutionalized...
for such an innocent joke. this brings in my mind the hottest summer day and longest moment I spent in deadly silence in the company of my cousin, 6 years ago. He bought a truckload of firewood and started to chop some up, perhaps for next day's campfire, when I walked out from our house (we were neighbors back then) and started to talk to him over the fence. He went on with his work when suddenly a blow didn't end with a "thump" but a "sweeeeooonnnngggg". He released the axe and we stared at the axe stuck in... an 80 mm armor piercing artillery shell neatly embedded in the tree root... It was badly corroded of course, but didn't take long to be identified as an artillery round, a leftover of the Soviet artillery barrage on Budapest (1945). If the axe had struck an inch higher, we surely would have had a closed coffin burial service. |
Was it even a joke? I thought they were just setting up to play a game and some idiot calls the cops about it

I smell april fools

The story may be an April Fool's joke, but real-life Super Mario levels have been constructed before. MIT students once turned the "infinite corridor" in their main university building into level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. as a "hack" (prank).

Some engineering students used Post-It notes to create mario characters in windows, with each notepaper as 1 pixel from the original sprites :) |
;) Gotta love those nerds-at-large.
