fuh...fuh..fuh...fake!

Some news form another place...already this one has been hemmed and hawed over for quite some time....


"Actually, I have proof that it's fake. I recently received this story, and was intrigued by how well-written it was. I stumbled across this site while looking for answers. I then had the idea to look for various versions of the page. I could only find two mirrors according to Google. I took those two mirrors and headed to the "Way-back machine" at http://www.archive.org . From there, I learned the earliest version of those sites were in 2002, and if that was true, this guy either had to be lying, or was alive and well. Besides the idea that his friends/family had posted it, but why? You think they would have taken it to the news, not the Internet. So I kept looking and found a PDF version of the story (http://www.dougaustin.com/tlcaves/pdf/Hupman's%20Terror.pdf), but this time it had different names. Right-off I knew this had to be a hoax. But then I noticed an author, Mr. Thomas Lera, and a copyright date of 1987. Evidently, Mr. Lera wrote this short story in 1987 and just picked 2001 as a date in the near future (other stories of his point to 2030+ etc, I've found). Obviously someone simply thought it would be funny to post his story online and change the names, since the dates had finally occured. Afterall, we can never have enough spam in our inboxes, huh? lol. This also accounts for why the story was so well-written, and was able to keep my interest. It just seemed too good to be true lol."

I don't think it was ever meant to be interpreted as true, it's just a rather well-told story

How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

I'll tell you the answer in a moment, hold up.

Amorpheus - I think you missed the joke in djplayx's post, it is the link to page 11 that doesn't work...

Anyway, that sh!t tripped me out. I'm at work right now and there is no one here in the morning except for some sales people who work in another office. Every now and then they will come in to check dates, etc and I would be right in the middle of an intense part of the story and half jump when the door would all the sudden open.

The story does sound a little to good to be true, very well written though.
