Has this already been asked or am i just stupid:
BFG shows a hashrate of 23 GH/s - but i see what appears to be 2 devices - due to the power (read heat) generation are they chaining two boards together to get to the 23 GH/s rate?
Or do we just a have a super long single...

I don't see how getting a unit to Luke-Jr is anything remotely like shipping.
This! Shipping means customers getting ordered retail units. I don't get whats there to debate about this.
1) Luke-Jr did not get anything shipped. The unit is still at BFL in KC: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1714052
2) Does this look like a "retail unit" to you? Or more like a prototype?

working 41min @180w without fan?
April fool
Passively cooling an Core i5/i7 is already a challenge, and that's only ~90 W.April fool
180 W with such small heatsinks? Well, if it's ok for the chips to run @ 150°C...
it is okay for pcb to work on that temp... for about a week...

Luke-Jr, wether he is payed by BFL or not, is needed to actually finish the product.
It was not shipped to him as a product, it was shipped to him fully within the design process.
Shipping would be when actual customers will get their boxes with the intention to be used as miners and not development platforms.
Luke is just a BFL worker and he's working on an un-shipped prototype.
The question you need to ask yourselfs is, was a finished product shipped?
If not, then it was still in design.
Big hint, BFL website does not read 'WE'RE SHIIIPIIING!!@111!!!~!'
Clearly this is just a trick to try to convince everyone BFL won the stupid bet.
So actually nothing new, just more smoke and mirrors from out friends in Kansas.

Unfortunately for this bet, Luke posted 36 minutes after April 1.
96 minutes after, by Eastern time, which is BoB time. Still 36 minutes after, Luke's time.
Also "The device must achieve at least 75% of its advertised hashrate." Which product was your order for Luke? A Single or a Little Single?
If it is indeed sitting in a Lab at BFL, I would consider it neither shipped nor delivered. Hell, it's not even finished. It's still naked.
Congratulations! Now Josh finally delivered before 1st April and do not need a seppuku 
Although it is still hosted at BFL, but since now their energy consumption is high, some people would consider having their singles hosted at BFL anyway (they provide this service), so this is actually a delivery IMO

Haha, oh man that made me laugh real good. Thanks for that humor!!
april's fool, not a very good one btw
Hmm missing something? They could be Luke's units, ran remotely by Josh. Of course the EXIF data would show Josh since Josh took the photos.
This post is all true. (seriously)

Luke-Jr got the first ones, how convenient, why didn't Josh got the first?
You trust Luke more than Josh.
I just received my new truck yesterday, but I'm leaving it at the dealership so they can run further tests on it while I pay for the gas it uses.
That's the OP in a nutshell.

The point is that as of now there is no proof of any kind that they have something working.
I said this with avalon and i have to repeat it with BFL. I was also more confident with avalon...

Too long; didn't read, but has this been confirmed as a scam/cruel joke yet?
I can't be the only one who noticed that the laptop and powerbar in lukejr's pics are the same ones from the BFL test video released a couple days ago.

It is very early Monday morning April 1, 2013 for me here on the east coast and I'm just learning of great news: the first BFL ASIC miner is hashing on the public network! Congratulations BFL - we all look forward to many rounds of cheers in celebration this coming week. Luke-Jr is the proud owner of the first BFL Little SC and it looks like it is achieving over 20GH/s already.
Just to be clear, it appears no delivery service was used as the Little is being remotely hosted in KC for Luke who does not yet have it in hand. That is an important distinction for anyone thinking BFL is shipping. Also for anyone who has money riding on any bets that BFL would ship before April 1, which I'm proud to say I do not.
However, this is still a monumental event of course. We has ASIC hashes! Congratulations Josh and team - like for serious, we love you.
