Corinna, you do better at April fool. Here, I try:
Memo from HomeLand Security:
Homeland Security issued advisory saying Cygwin threat to National
SEcurity and raise level of threat due to threat of unported software
not available. POSIX preoccupation of Cygwin considered harmful to
morale of troops in Iraq. Expect delays at airports. Bag all CDs
containint POSIX software in approved plastic containers.
Threat level is reddish-orange-with-tint-of-yellow. National Guard on
Standby.
This is an official announcment.
