I think the Pyramid folks were actually joking about themselves, not making fun of Web2Py. The Pyramid project had just recently been created from the merger of the Pylons and BFG frameworks. Not long before that, TurboGears had been rewritten on top of Pylons. With all that consolidation in the recent past, the Pyramid community was primed for the April Fool's prank announcement of another merger. It was particularly funny because Pyramid and Web2Py are such different kinds of frameworks. It must have caused a lot of heartburn for any Pyramid developers who took it seriously.
Both Web2Py and Pyramid are serious, proven, high-quality, well managed, well documented, and useful. They take different approaches and are best suited for different situations, so it's hard to imagine them ever being merged, but I've considered using both of them for different parts of a single project.
