There's something that could be an April Fool's joke on the hearthstone site, but it is really lame. Other than that, I don't know. Maybe the LotV beta is April Fool's? | ||

I think there's a bit of an argument about how all the arguments are based on different definitions of words and such that could be made. | ||

Have a friend cut regular and baby into pieces that you can't tell where they are from. Literally blind yourself if needed. Then scramble the pieces (your friend keeps track on which are which) and then you try the 20 pieces and try to tell if each piece is baby or regular. Then compare to truth that your friend has. If there actually is a difference, you should be able to get almost all of them right. Otherwise you will get about half of them wrong. Glgl. Double blind probably overkill in this setting. | ||
