[Techtalk] don't believe anything you read on the Internet

[Carla Schroder]

I cannot resist doing a bit of horn-tooting on Dana's behalf. I get a big kick

tales on danaquarium.com seriously- but the best gag of all is a print 
newspaper picked up one story and printed it as fact- without attribution and 
without fact-checking:

so much for "real" "journalists" being more better than mere bloggers, eh?
