This was just posted to the front page. The part that captured my attention was the final paragraph...what exactly does this mean?

In related news, MetaFilter was said to be signing a merger agreement with Kuro5hin to pool content between the two sites. We'll bring you more news as soon as we hear it.

I thought the 'April Fools Day' in the post description might have given it away, but I guess not, so it'll be nice to see how many others get fooled! ;-)

Very nice Matt...I am impressed, while laughing my ass off BTW.

This is impressive. It spooks even me, and I'm not so spookable.
