Wow you really take things literally, the joke part was implied since this is
the 1st of april... i did also add "(without us hearing anything about it i
might add)" which could of course be interpited several different ways, but in
this context i think it is pretty clar what the meaning is“; If we haven't heard
of it and it suddenly appear on April 1st, then what are the odds it is true.
