I am very unclear about the nature of the following rfcs:
3091 Pi Digit Generation Protocol
3098 How to Advertise Responsibly etc etc.
3092 Etymology of “Foo”
Is this some kind of joke? I am seriously confused.

Yes. but the html post is not.

Sounds to me like you're not confused at all.
I like 2100, myself. 1149 is a classic, as well, and has the interesting
advantage that it's actually been implemented in the field.
See http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/ for details.

Every year, on April 1st ("April Fool's day"), the IETF approves a small
number of joke RFCs.
3098, BTW, is not a joke.

Neither is 3092, for that matter. It may not be about a
serious technical issue, but it's still the answer to a very
common set of questions relating to Internet standards in
general.
Plus, it's a very impressive bit of research.
