So, as it appears, they write a fool's day rfc every year. Some are absolutely hilarious while some a bit stupid.
Here's a list : http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~awooster/joke_rfcs.html (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~awooster/joke_rfcs.html)

These are my favorite:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149) (there's even an implementation (http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/))
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3092.txt (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3092.txt)
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt)
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2795.txt (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2795.txt)

The authors do have some imagination XD
