If you're new to joke RFCs, I suggest reading up on RFC 3514, a suggestion that malicious IP packets should be required to set the high order bit of the IP fragment offset field, which is to be designated the "evil" bit. This significantly simplifies implementing effective network monitoring.

It's still true. A pigeon can easily carry 10 microSD cards, 1TB each. Even if you're on a gigabit connection, it will take you over 22 hours to copy 10TB.

They meant that it was posted on April fools, not that it's an old article.
