"About 1 month later it turned up in the WWN, there are other examples out there.
I'm not saying this particular case is true but it can't just be written off either. :)"


They used to say the difference between journalism and the tabloids was that tabloids would run stories with one anonymous unconfirmed source. Funny how that line has blurred.

That is an insidious thing about the WWN.
99.9% of it is fake. They just throw enough odd but true news into it to add some sort of air of legitimacy to the entire paper.Whats sad is that some people believe the whole darned thing is true.
Most likely Art Bell listeners.
P.S. If I remember correctly the jerk who cooked his roommate's kitten received about 5 years in the pokey.
