According to the out of office thing, at 8:10 AM EDT these guys have lunch, and a 4 hour and 50 minute one at that. I wonder when they have breakfast.
It's always lunchtime somewhere.
(In this case, it's noon in England)

Haha it's definitely lunch here. But our lunch is being spent spinning up more servers and load balancers! Traffic has been a little crazy...

#23Seriously? Giving people electric shocks for fun? I don't even wanna try that...
Sure about that ? The Milgram Experiment would suggest otherwise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment).

#24Seems like nobody has read up on Halloween for a while. The Wikipedia page is a good place to start. I don't think there is an event on the calendar that is so far lost-the-plot as Halloween. Nobody knows the slightest thing about the origins of it and this stunt is just a million miles away.
What particular interpretation and stopping point in history do you think is probably the correct one?
From what I see people have a party, which harkens back to the whole harvest festival thing.

Have you guys had a problem with people scripting tweets? I know there are some command line twitter clients like TTYter.

We expected abuse from the beginning so we built in a 30minute cooldown on accounts. Hopefully someone doesn't have an army of accounts out there though!

#28Is today April Fools or Halloween?

#29Congratulations to the team on marketing idea and technical implementation. It's really cool and fun. On the other side, I don't like the kind of message you're trying to get across which is in a nutshell: "these are our monkey engineers, have fun with them". It's a little bit too self-deprecating and demeaning. I get that it's made in fun, but it buzzed me the wrong way.
I don't think the message is at all demeaning. It's a bit tongue in cheek/British sense of humour, definitely not a put down.
