*sigh* Big waste of time...

Agreed! I just posted as a funny story. One only need to look at the date and that it's unconfirmed by Darwin after all this time.[/QUOTE]Sorry, Arvon, I didn't mean *you* by that...I was referring to the people who come up with these hoaxes. I mean, I wish I had that much time on my hands!
