Russ Cox is an absolute legend for committing to this joke.

Someone needs to convince Russ that it would be hilarious to have a full featured web browser in Plan 9.

> I would laugh my ass off for years at this joke!

I don't really get the 'joke'? Porting a full web browser to Plan 9 would seem like a cool project - where's the humor?

You're making me explain this whole post. :p

Their April Fools' jokes are real and work as you can see in the submitted link.

So basically, a Plan 9 web browser, would be a great April Fools' prank! (because, again, their "pranks" are real and work)
