    Sigh. It's April fool's day again. Looks like someone actually set up
    a cronjob to launch this a the stroke of midnight (their time). So,
    let's count the obvious failures in the forgery:

    1) To: Linus Torvalds <t0rvalds@transmeta.com>
                             ^

    2)
    Received: from penguin.transmeta.com (IDENT:adam@localhost [127.0.0.1])
            by pepsi.eax.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id CAA25103
            for linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu; Sat, 1 Apr 2000 02:01:45 -0500

    penguin.transmeta.com doesn't exist

    3) X-April-Fools-Day: True

    Duh!

    4)

    It had to be a student...

    5) the date

    6) the content of the message.

                                    Regards,
