As you probably guessed, yes it was all a joke. No haxoring here, no sir. A lot of you were quick to realize it, but some weren't and it was fun reading the PMs that were sent to me LOL. That made it all worth it :D.

How did you like it? A lot better than last years? (If you want to see what it looked like:
April Fools 2007 &
April Fools 2008) Er, on second thought, I think it's safe to say that this year's was a bit easier on the eyes :p. For details on what happened, read below.
The news post was written in normal English (albeit my poor English) and then entered into bable fish, translated to Japanese and then re-translated back to English.
