We have triple checked with our inside sources in the industry and can thus confirm with 100 percent certainty that our April 1 story on Google opening its own SEO agency is just what the link at the bottom of the piece purports it to be: an April Fools joke.

My favorite part of this article is the paragraph under "Spreading Like Wildfire" with all the links to the forums. If you have time, you should click through to some of the forums, the debate & comments there are hysterical.
