It gets even better: there is a package named "is-uneven", which, you guessed it, depends on is-even and negates. You couldn't make this stuff up.

npmjs.com/package/is-uneven

I like it that the author says "Help with this big and important project is very appreciated", at least he's got humor and he's probably also aware that the whole thing is just a joke!

Incredible, imagine what would happen if suddenly they remove is-even package... like what happened with this other package of which I don't remember the name of... which broke quite a lot of stuff...
