Is this a joke? or is this guy serious...

Its a joke.

Though I have to admit he had me up until he started talking about second degree burns.

April Fools. Read to the bottom and it's clearly a joke.

But it's a day early (though to be fair, it is April 1st in some parts of a world)

Please please please don't post every single April Fools joke you see on the internet tomorrow. If it's particularly hacker-worthy, then sure. This is not.

Let's just restrict it to jokes that are actually funny. That should weed out most of them. (Including this one.)

It's traditional on the Internet to post your April Fools as soon as it turns April 1 on the International Date Line, which is at 8:00 AM EDT on Marchc 31. So today's really the day when they all come out. They're usually gone by noon tomorrow.

I saw that title and came to the same conclusion without even reading. Skipped to the bottom and you're right, it's pretty obvious there.

Maybe a single thread for all April fools jokes would be appropriate?

Damn. I’m going to go to bed and wake up on April 2nd. My world has no anchor today.

I'm so freaking Gullible, I was about to write a big long comment referring to Facebook. Touche Michael Arrington!

Bastards, I only realized I got fooled at: "Later on, he also unfriended me."

Dammit. I was really hoping to have ONE legitimate news story to follow tomorrow.

"We’ll be filing the lawsuit tomorrow" isn't the punchline.

"I can say without hubris that I am a very important person" is. ;)
