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.)
