Web surfing on the loo project a hoax
Microsoft Corp. said a company news release that it was developing a portable toilet with Internet access, called an "iLoo," [as discussed at Scot Watson] was a hoax perpetrated by its British division.
The April 30 release, issued by the company's MSN Internet division in the United Kingdom, said Microsoft was developing a portable toilet with a wireless keyboard and an extending height-adjustable plasma screen in front of the seat. The iLoo was to debut at festivals this summer in Britain.

Search for Klingon interpreter called off
Sorry, potential Klingon interpreters. Officials have said they won't be needing your services, after all.
The office that treats mental health patients in Multnomah County had included Klingon on a list of 55 languages that could be spoken by incoming patients.
But the inclusion of the Star Trek language drew a spate of tongue-in-cheek headlines.
