      refixed subject. After reading the story it sounds way too bizarre to be true.

        Ah: you didn't spot that it is a spoof site: plainly constructed with some script-kiddie with far too much time.

          The news at the right side below the main headline makes me feel that it is a spoof site. But the links at the bottom point to the real BBC site.

              Fake (possibly an April Fool) ... look at the URL, it's not on bbc.co.uk.

                Never been a fan of spoof news, in any form. The humor wanes quickly. I'd better watch the "authentic" news to get sustained amusement. :) But in all seriousness, spoof news ceases to be funny after a few seconds. Its just too long.
