A guest post from Darth Flashpants, the ultimate evil in the universe:

Notice something not quite right in the video above? Do you feel uneasy? Perhaps you can’t even explain it, but deep down you know something is wrong…
At the office of the Dark Lord, I always lock my desktop when I levitate away. If not, I will return to a machine with wallpaper that looks like something like…(don’t click, it will burn your eyes)….this.
Relatively effective (especially the one with puppies at the bottom) , but not very subtle.
I would never, ever, ever suggest you touch a co-worker’s machine like other people have abused mine (you know who you are). But if you were to, I have a idea for you.
Discrete pills as green and Continuous blue? Madness. Or, make ’em both one color and really enjoy the show – chaos at the water cooler.
Imagine creating a workbook that behaves this way and being able to forward it to someone who opens it up and shares that same disquiet and despair? A gift that keeps giving. Challenge the Tableau know-it-all in your office for a little bit of help, and watch the fun. Wait, don’t do that. Sorry.
As a Sith, I’m not going to explain how this works. You must invest some time yourself to figure out how to deploy this little nugget of joy. It clearly is unsupported and could boomerang back in any number of unexpected ways, so be careful. Karma is a bitch, so don’t cause any calls to tech support.
That is just beautiful. And as I am the Tableau “expert” in my office, perhaps I’ll do something to those who are learning from me. Heh.
I cannot condone this kind of evil.
But I can enjoy it…
Being VERY color blind, this won’t work on me. I never consider pill color (could not, even if I tried). You need to work on a more universal April Fools story (;-).
(FlashyPants says): Imagine you can see colors. Now laugh.
lol. That enough?
