Wasted time. All the wasted time we spent as children looking for that ridiculous, bespectacled, striped goon when we could have been seeking out the world's most enigmatic racing driver.

Not every ridiculous thing that happens on April 1st is fake. The BBC lists off the 10 stories that happened today which might sound foolish, but in fact, are completely true.
Tech Buzz If you get a text that begins, “I swear, I will make sure I give you HIV…” don't fret right away, it could be a Nigerian love letter! It's all about creativity when you show your love! That “HIV” text would end: “H is for Happiness and joy forever with an I: Incomparable love that will never V: Vanish until death do us part. I love you.” Unless you do actually have HIV, then the romance might be lost.
A clip from the upcoming Discover/BBC series Seasons of Survival, with a new soundtrack added. You can watch other clips from the show (minus Santogold) here. This looks amahzing.

The web is abuzz with reactions (and confusions) about the recent announcement of popular Brit series Doctor Who's newest star. The new Doctor will be newcomer Matt Smith, who is not only unheard of by sci-fi lovers, but also the youngest actor to ever portray the Doctor on the series.
When this report was broadcast on the BBC in 1957, hundreds of people phoned in asking how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. I have so many fond memories of spaghetti-harvesting time on my Grandpa’s farm…except for that one terrible year when the spaghetti weevil wiped out the whole crop.
A new BBC show, “The Wrong Door,” incorporates sci-fi effects into everyday life. Also makes me fear the future.
Gorillaz members’ Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s new viral video ushers in new album. The video is a recreation of the Chinese folk tale Journey to the West. While primarily created for the BBC’s 2008 Summer Olympics marketing campaign, the video also coincides with the announcement of a new long playing release from the Gorillaz duo. It should come as no surprise that the video is a harbinger of more to come from the creative juggernaut that is Damon Albarn.
TV Buzz A new BBC show takes eight young disabled women to compete for a photo shoot in a top fashion magazine. Disabilities are so edgy! These are the kinds of twists that make reality television actually interesting.
Style Buzz The BBC has launched a new online magazine dedicated to eco-conscious style. Thread has articles on how to read your clothing labels,sweatshops, where to find ethically produced garments, as well as fashions that are actually stylish. Green may actually be the new black.
Culture Buzz Their sketch show on the BBC, That Mitchell And Webb Look, have earned them hardcore fans on both sides of the pond. Monty Python has found a welcome replacement in the cleverly absurd blokes who, incidentally, also star in the UK version of the Mac-vs.-PC ads. Bloody brilliant! (Also be sure to check out Peep Show, another Mitchell and Webb show we highly recommend.)
