Comment: I think it could be a good hook for
WP:DYKAPRIL, or it could serve as a regular hook as well; let me know what you think. Feel free to suggest any improvements that would make it funnier/more absurd.
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Nice work! I think this would be better suited as the trailing hook in a normal set—it is funny, but it seems more quirky-corny than April-fools'-day misleading and absurd. The hook should be cited at the end of the sentence, especially because it contains direct quotes. Well done! The article was informative and a-peel-ing (look, i'm sorry, okay?).
