As this topic has generated some more interest, I'll put the following document back. I deleted it, as I didn't want to leave stuff in Smudge's bench area if it wasn't wanted. I guess Smudge will have seen versions of this before, but other people might not have.
This story was syndicated all around the world, and was printed word-for-word in lots of small circulation local newspapers. It clearly struck a chord with local editors - who probably liked the "humorous" angle, and thought it was something that would appeal to local readers, despite it being about something in a far away country.
