Why you should poop at work.

How scientists are using tampons to find water pollution. (It’s not gross, I promise!)
Yes, it’s OK not to be with your kids 24/7. They’ll be fine.

Now for some actual April Fool’s Jokes!
- Goodreads announced KINDLR, a dating app that matches people based on their bookshelves. If only!
- The Smithsonian claimed that they had Wonder Woman’s invisible jet on display.
- Two different knitting jokes — “Hey Girl” yarn and a campaign to knit chrysalises for monarch butterflies. Except now I really want to make tiny crocheted butterflies and chrysalises to put them in!
- Trolling Top Gear! “Capaldi is alleged to have punched a Dalek right in the eyestalk during an angry outburst in-between filming.”
- OMG I want this.
