Ya, got to bed really late last night and only woke up about 3 hours ago.
This was the first thing Suzanne & I talked about today -- we had a good
laugh. I hate to use the word "hoax" because "April Fool's Joke" is probably
much more appropriate, but it's clear to us (in our minds) that these images
are beyond the shadow of a doubt simply a good-natured April Fool's Day joke
from someone who can build some really nice things (but isn't a very good
photographer or image-editor).
IMHO, these are just "real" enough to cause a modicum of belief, yet crufty
enough from an image-details point of view that people won't be upset when
the truth comes out from whoever did this (because it was obvious enough) --
I look forward to seeing what they'll come up with next year! This is an MOC
milestone for the community, methinks.
