And to think we have only seen the begining.

I think what's funnier is people are still falling for it, even though
several have posted acknowledging it is a joke. :D

These stupid jokes are starting to get on my nerves. I'd also say that
this topic is entirely off topic for this group. It isn't fun (if it
wasn't a joke, it's not fun, if it is a joke, it's sick, it's definitely
LEGO related and therefor off topic for lugnet.off-topic.fun).

Oh, come ON!  You're getting angry because someone has a different sense of
humor than you?  I thought it was funny, even though I was suckered by it, as
well.

Are we now to be subjected to this crud for a whole month? Are we going
to start having these jokes all year round? Think carefully about how
easy it is to keep a straight face in a post. I wonder how much of this
kind of crud Lugnet (or any other online media) can withstand before
collapsing because no one can trust anything which is said.

Well, since the rest of the year isn't near April Fool's Day, I highly doubt
it.

And I also don't think its "funny" that people get suckered in (for one
thing, remember people often read from the start of a thread and post
their reply immediately, sure, folks should wait until they have read
the whole thread, but even those of us who have been being trapped by
not reading the whole thread before responding for 15+ years still
forget sometimes).

I think it is funny that some people get suckered in, because I was suckered
in, too!  Did I get mad at Mark when I realised it was a joke?  No, I didn't.
In fact, we had a good laugh over me being fooled by it.  So, lighten up, and
don't take things so seriously.  Life will be more enjoyable that way.  :)
