WTF? Is that Kansas thing about the Dinoaurs a joke?

The article about Kansas on the homepage... is that a joke?
I didn't see a disclaimer saying 'for entertainment purposes only', or 'April Fools!'.

How does one jettison a state?

:wtf:

5. So far. Had a neighbor whose son was not allowed to bring any

toys dinosaurs or coloring books that had them in it to another child's home. Still haven't figured out where they think all of those big bones came from. That was about 15 years ago.

it could really happen...and we shouldn't be surprised when/if it does; that's how twisted things have gotten.

8. Whether it is a joke or not doesn't matter.
