I almost had a heart attack today when I copy and pasted a snip-it of code for a solution I was looking for on stackoverflow and a popup said, "STOP! You have two (2) free copy/pastes remaining."

After doing some internet digging, I figured out this was their April Fools joke. They are pretending to sell a fake device for copy and pasting. I would have been more suspected it more if it happened to me on April 1st, but it is now the 2nd. I hope they do not forget to take down their gag.
