You're about a week late with this story...  it's appeared a couple of dozen times before.

Ya, but it's such a good story on linkbaiting it should appear once a week, every week for the next 2 years.

This version linked here is just reputation management after the fact and a total load of crap. Gotta give them credit though for attempting to spin it this way. Many will believe this version and think it was originally posted as a hoax (it wasn't).
