Hmmm.. Found that link on another forum. Looks like it's a joke that just keeps on giving.

That said, the science behind the possibility of this occurring seems reasonable.

As with the best April fools jokes.

I liked one about a car with an anti-theft security feature. It wouldn't start without a pre-programmed weight for the driver (and other family member) that had to match the weight in the seat. It even allowed for seasonal variations like putting on a few lbs at xmas.

One year CBC radio broadcast that Mount Blackstrap, a hill south of Saskatoon fashioned from a landfill, was erupting from internal methane explosions and debris raining down had forced closure of Hwy 11. A War of The Worlds ripoff but I thought it was good.
