Turned out it was legit, unlike the <a href="http://blog.slideshare.net/2009/04/01/happy-april-fools-day/" rel="nofollow">SlideShare emails</a>. All in all, I decided it was best not to be *too* subtle. After all, Mike Arrington posted <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/find-mike-a-wife/" rel="nofollow">this</a>, and some people took it seriously!

I still think it's just a joke, but it will be much funnier it it turns out the rumor is legitimate and now the folks involved are dealing with the backlash of the joke! Zut alors!
