BBspot is a satirical news and comedy source and meant to be funny. If you are easily offended, gullible or don't have a sense of humor we suggest you go elsewhere. cedwards 11-11-2002, 01:48 PM lol yeah read the story...it seems so fake anyways.

And if that's not obvious enough, the tagline under the story says that it "originally appeared in The Specious Report." Specious, as in "a specious argument." Something is "specious" if it seems plausible (that's questionable in this case) but is actually false.
