Իրա՞ւ կ'ըսես: Ասի 100% ձրի՞ է: Չեմ գիտեր, առնե՞մ կամ չառնեմ, որովհետեւ ես արդէն «Roadrunner» ունիմ...

Really? Is this 100% free? I don't know, should I get it or not, because I already have Roadrunner...

Yes. On April 1 (at least in the USA) it is "April Fool Day." Everyone tries to make jokes and tell stories... you can see that even Google does this.

I certainly didn't mean to imply anything about you, or anyone! I was just posting, keeping in mind, that so many people who read this might not understand things in an odd context (like April fool).

I evem clicked on the 'news release' (because I distrusted the link) and posted that text. I was that curious to look into it. Really, who knows with goodle... so I was curious enough to do that!
