Sometimes real news delivered on April 1st is thought to be a joke. Which of the following refer to real occurrences, and which are pranks?

  • CBS cancels the daytime soap opera Guiding Light after 57 years on the air.
  • SARS infects Hong Kong.
  • U.S. President Barack Obama demands that bailed-out automakers Chevrolet and General Motors pull funding for NASCAR.
  • A Google engineer's pet ball python escapes from its cage at Google's New York City offices.
  • Overlord Miller announces that he will return to Cleveland.
  • The government of the United Kingdom forms the Serious Organised Crime Agency. Seriously.

And, for two points, what is the theme of this week's Secret Quiz?
