This is the mathematicians version of the "How to screw in a light bulb" jokes that were popular during the early ages of the internet.

The article also briefly mentions Bourbaki[0], a pseudonym for a group of French mathematicians that tried to present all of mathematics in a more consistent way. Their work was definitely not a joke.
