Urkel is alive

There was an article in last Sunday's Nation, the Buzz section I think, about how Jaleel White had died. Sad I thought, so I did what I tend to do with this kind of news. I found it immediately strange that among the google results was stuff about a hoax. Indeed the words in the article were copied and pasted from this apparent story. Our journalists are rather fond of this kind of thing, but it wouldn't have taken much googling to figure out that wasn't an article to put in the country's best selling daily. Or was it April fools last Sunday.
