April fools joke?

From Matthew Kahn, Am I an economist or a hollywood celebrity?

While I was eating lunch today at a Brentwood restaurant, two women sitting nearby kept looking at me. I took my son to the toliet. My wife told me that while I was gone the women asked her if I was Quentin Tarantino . My wife assured them that I am a nobody and am certainly not QT. This happens to me all the time. Can you explain why? Look at my photo at mek1966.googlepages.com (I admit that it is 10 years old) and tell me if I look like that dude. While many economists believe that they are famous, I know the truth and I can handle the truth. I would like to meet QT to see if he can tell us apart.

Matt... I wouldn't necessarily mistake you for Quebtin Tarantino, but I do see a resemblance.
