i think so. when that something weird happen the whole browser window shakes and then the "I want one" or "sold out" button moves around the screen. i have a screen shot if someone wants to host it. they'll fix it i'm sure though...

Hopefully woot was behind it. I know a guy who had his apache box hacked on April fools as well. It was pretty hilarious that they put a couple of hermaphrodites spread eagle on the front page. :hehehmm:

Mystery Brand 5.1 Channel 6pc Speaker Set
Hey, Mr. Bass Man
$29.99 + $5 Shipping and Handling


Once again, it’s our favorite six-piece stereo set from an undisclosed-but-probably-reputable manufacturer! They probably don’t need much introduction to Woot users by now, so let us just tell you that we think they’re the sexiest speakers since Newt Gingrich.

Astute Wooters will probably notice that we’ve implemented a couple of minor changes to the way our “I want one” button works, in hopes of easing the load on our servers. (We found this was a lot cheaper than putting more RAM in the box.)

Any semi-nerdy user won’t have too much trouble thwarting the thing. Today, the egghead reigns supreme! Enjoy your day at the top, fellow dweebs! Order the speakers that elude your less-geeky fellow Wooters! Tomorrow it’s back to swirlies at the bottom of the social order.

To the rest of ye: April Fool’s!

What’s that? You didn’t find this funny? Uh-oh. We may have misjudged your sense of humor. Um—don’t go in your bathroom just yet, OK?

:stupid: They had a ridiculously discounted Hoover for like $50 earlier this week. That's cheaper than the most craptastic vacuum at Wal-Mart.
