I just happened to be up really late on Saturday night and was one of the first at FR to see the breaking story. My first post on the big thread is #44.
One of the very first things I did, was copy the image for my own safe-keeping. The time stamp of when I copied it to my computer is: Sunday, August 02, 2009, 6:47:18 AM.
The URL where it was posted at the time read:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/18018712/03118509264
The title of that page at the time was:
Filing Doc 03118509264
These have since been changed to:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/18018714/Fake-Obama-Kenya-birth-certificate
and,
Fake Obama birth certificate
What’s important about this, is that I just took a close look at the copy in my computer (which I saved before the website URL and title changes), and son of a gun, if it doesn’t clearly show serial number 47644, and K.F. Lavender.

THE VICTORIAN UNITED LAW CLARK’S SOCIETY SECRETARY E.F. LAVENDER:

The first periodical published within the Law School at The University of Melbourne was The Summons.
excerpt:
In 1957, Professor Zelman Cowen (then Dean of the Faculty and later Governor-General of Australia) re-established the journal along the model of the Harvard Law Review (which had been run by law students since it commenced publication in 1887) and renamed it the Melbourne University Law Review. This move coincided with a period of expansion both in reputation and size at the Melbourne Law School and marked a number of staff and student exchanges to prominent American law schools. Given this environment, the move to a more formally academic publication was made in order to enhance and stimulate enlightened legal discussion. In line with prevailing American practice, the top ranking law students were invited to become members of the Editorial Board.
Starts with E.F. Lavender...and ends up with the Harvard Law Review. Nice one.
Thank you!! I will peruse what you just posted. I was reading those threads - obsessivly, some might say.
I am the person who created the hoax Kenyan birth certificate and will be happy to answer any questions about it.
Earlier I provided the original, uncompressed TIF file from the camera to someone who told me of this thread. I imagine they will arrange to have it made available to the public.
I hope this will finally put an end to any speculation that the certificate was anything other than a prank.
