I think it could be a good hook for WP:DYKAPRIL, or it could serve as a regular hook as well; let me know what you think. Feel free to suggest any improvements that would make it funnier/more absurd.

Overall: 
Nice work! I think this would be better suited as the trailing hook in a normal set—it is funny, but it seems more quirky-corny than April-fools'-day misleading and absurd. The hook should be cited at the end of the sentence, especially because it contains direct quotes. Well done! The article was informative and a-peel-ing (look, i'm sorry, okay?). theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 03:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Short-ish, but fine for DYK. Otherwise new enough, long enough, well cited. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
