second page of the article:

April fools! Now that April 1st has come and gone, we'll admit that this article is absolutely untrue. For now.


It was good for a laugh though ;D

Go to the last page of the article for a few other "jokes", like

yeah, I believed them for a while.  I started to get a little suspicious when I saw the bucket of water labeld "ammo".  It looked edited.  But when I read the Unconventional Warfare page, I started to think, "hmm, this doesn't seem right."  Then I saw the picture of the tank with water gun mod. lol ::)
