SlashNotes: A SlashNOT day of morning

Matthew writes: SlashNOT employees observed a day of morning Sunday after the Columbia explosion, and they invited each other to share their thoughts about it today.
“When I woke up to the news, I knew right then that I would be in morning all day long. You know, stay in bed in a depressed semiconscious state, eat nothing but untoasted frozen waffles, unplug the alarm clock, and ignore the phone/spouse/kids/parents. I could give myself up to morning for a few days, but thankfully I’ve got my family and satire website to keep me going, and we do have to get back into space as soon as possible. That’s not going to happen with me lying around in a fugue.”—Matthew
“I don’t actually get up before noon anyway, so I heard the news rather late. But right then, I knew it would be morning all day long for me as well. We didn’t even have to discuss it—we both did the morning thing all day independently of each other.”—Michael.

To mourn is spelled with a 'u'. The beginning part of the day is spelled morn. The real question is, was this intentional and am I missing subtle humor?

I think…it was a joke. Not a funny one, but still a joke.

Personally, I got up around 11AM so I was only in morning for about an hour. But I can assure you that I was sad for much longer.

I was like on the slopes dude and heard down by the lift.
I couldn't ski work a crap all day after that.

LoL. We don't post anything that doesn't attempt to be at least mildly humorous. That is supposed to be the joke.
