Preposterous Polywater

In the 1960s, Soviet scientists claimed to have discovered a form of water that was polymerized and remained solid from −40 °C to 150 °C.  These claims set off a kind of panic among American officials and scientists.  If such a substance existed and the USSR managed to use it as a weapon to render US water stores useless, the repercussions would have been catastrophic! After a frenzy of research in both countries trying to recreate and test polywater, it became clear that the substance was fictitious. The sample the soviets had was in fact simply impurities in the water sample used.

So the site I found is a site claiming to offer animals and reptiles and such for sale as pets or as supper.  There's a link for recipes, comments from "satisfied customers" in the sidebar, and even Google adds scattered throughout.  There are links to "sister pages" and offers to buy t-shirts and such as well.  Once you look closer and see the site offers you the option of ordering dodo birds, bald eagles, komodo dragons, and other extinct or endangered animals, it's pretty plain the site is a joke.  Nevertheless, outraged readers are commenting about how terrible the people running the site are for selling baby seal fillets and whatnot.  I think it's ridiculous that people believe it to be real.   The outbursts of fury on the site just go to show that too many people in this world jump at people's throats without taking two seconds to look at things properly.  If this site were real, there is no debate it would be a unspeakably terrible organization, but if one takes a moment to look at the business, it's clearly a joke.  (Whether a joke of good taste or not is another matter entirely)
