    Did anyone else notice this press release on Michael Ruhlman's blog?

    http://blog.ruhlman.com/

    It got quite a few comments, as you might expect.

    Make note of the date that it was posted.

    Fake news that is even slightly plausible isn't really very funny, AFAIC.

    Best,

    I think the comments make it sound like a very well-done joke.

    I didn't think that it was funny AT ALL. And since I read it yesterday, the date went right over my head :oops: .

    I disagree. A well-crafted April Fool's joke balances plausibility with enough head-scratching info to just about set off your BS meter. That whole Steppenwolf acting bit was where it was heading off in an odd direction.

    Not a great joke, but amusing.
