Is this a joke? Did anyone ever measured the coverage of numpy unittests? I would be surprized if it was more than 10%.

Of course it's a joke. So obviously one for anyone who knows the field, that the smiley shouldn't be needed (and yes, I despise background laughs on television, too). Maybe a sad joke, given the realities of scientific computing, and maybe a poor joke, but at least an attempt at humor.

Cheers,
