I've got to say of all the articles I have read on Neatorama this one is pure sensationalism and poorly researched. A typical Neatorama article would have addressed the myth as well as a reasoned review of the facts. Instead, we get the media's sensationalized account and a few links (one of which doesn't work)at the end mentioning possible discrepancies.

For a better understanding try this link:
