April Fools?

Just chose to check back in with Motley Fool to further my economic stimulus education and saw the following. Is this an April Fool's Day joke?

Therefore, it is with unparalleled enthusiasm that today we announce that for the next six months, The Motley Fool will not be covering the stock market or writing investment-related content of any kind.

Trust us. Now let's move on.
This may come as a surprise to many of you, but old-time Fools will recall that covering the stock market was 25% of our mission in the early days of The Motley Fool. When we started online at AOL in 1994, our investing forum was so popular, we launched content for the entertainment industry (Follywood), sports (FoolDome), and pop culture (Rogue).

Rest assured: We will approach these topics and others with the same zeal and passion that we have for investing. Let's face it, folks. Everyone needs a break now and then, and as Buffett says, "if you can't take six months off from the stock market to stop and smell the roses, you just ain't livin'."**

Six months off of investment writing right NOW? When all the news is happening? Bizzare! I hope it was a joke.
