Sure, but - if most LW users could tell that that was a joke, and you couldn't, then that says more about your understanding of the LW zeitgeist than it does about the LW zeitgeist.
(Of course, I mostly only assume most LWers could tell it was a joke, because I thought it was obviously a joke.)
Also: some things the "LW zeitgeist" considers a joke are not that funny (EY facts, etc.)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
