Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Is that real?! If it's not an April Fool it's a real clincher for me!

I'll point out that several of Think Geek's past April Fool's jokes (you can find a comprehensive list here) created sufficient demand for the fake item that they actually went ahead and made the item. In fact, today I wore one of their jokes from 2007, the 8-bit Tie.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.
