   @ RHS: Because it’s a Twitter FEED. The 140character tease is merely a description which leads into a link thus continuing the read in full context. And yes, it’s an April Fools joke (at least it better be).

   Is this an April Fool’s Day joke? Forgive my ignorance, but if Twitter messages are no more than 140 characters long, how does one cover a news story in that manner?
