Making jokes in data that’s going to have statistics done on by computers is one of my pet peeves. For example, I’ve seen obviously sarcastic book reviews on Amazon.com where the number of stars matched the letter of the review rather than its spirit. (And IIRC, Yvain mentioned how people answered stuff like “over 9000” in the LW survey.)
