I have seen some with 4 elements, some with 5. Also is the spacing
between them important?

A ground plane is an attempt to simulate the earth, with better
conduction, so the more radials the better.

Is that a joke?

I'd call it poorly put, but not a joke.

On another note, why are some of the radials bent to a 45 degree angle
and some are not?

To get a better match to 50 Ohms.
