"This costly episode reminds me of the oil-soaked seal which was rehabilitated at unbelievable expense -- only to be eaten by a killer whale moments after its ceremonious release..."

I fell for that one too, when I first heard it, but alas, as are most of the good stories, its an Urban Legend.

Never happened.

No I think it did happen, I heard Rush talk about it on the radio the day after it happened. Although my evidence is hearsay I don't think he would have repeated the story unless it was verified.
