The other was the post about the Perfect Woman robot. The only ways to tell are the humor tag and the assumption that the author wouldn't be dumb enough to fall for it. I'm a big fan of try humor, but there should be something more telling in the tone of the post, especially since most readers will miss the tags completely and some of them will take a while to catch on.
