Default OT - Is this for real ???

My instinct tells me this is a joke but I can't, so far, find any
disclaimer telling me that this is just a joke. I'm not interested
in doing this ever but I just couldn't believe what I was reading.

It's the same April Fool's joke that they used last year. Pretty
creative and elaborate although some might say it stinks.

I have 3 scheduled interactions with human beings today and am trying
to come up with some good April Fool's jokes.

Thank goodness NOT ! Boy did I feel dumb even questioning it when I
saw it just a hoax. I guess I'm too serious when I'm on the computer
most of the time and this was just that instant.
