A French newspaper celebrated April Fool's Day with a story about a plan to deliver its papers by drone, and the idea was also adopted by The Daily Sentinel, in Colorado. The story was picked up and repeated across the blogosphere, but late in the day on Monday,NBC News confirmed that the post was a prank. "The tiny drones don't seem to have room to carry more than just one newspaper," wrote Nidhi Subbaraman, of NBC. "How efficient could that possibly be, using a flying lawn mower to deliver one newspaper at a time?"
What's really scary is that some people believed it.....

Not surprised, the publics idea of the capabilities of these drones is like something out of an action movie, being able to carry a big nuclear bomb or something.
