I think it's real. There's too many links....

I dunno, wiki says it's "fictional". Either way it's a great story.

Dr Don Harper Mills admits he made the story up...

Quote:

I made up the story in 1987 to present at the meeting, for entertainment and to illustrate how if you alter a few small facts you greatly alter the legal consequences. In 1994 someone copied it on to the Internet. I was told it had already garnered 200,000 enquiries on the Net. In the past two years I've had around 400 telephone calls about it - librarians, journalists, law students, even law professors wanting to incorporate it into text books.

Still, it is quite the story!

This exact scenario was in the first part of a movie. I can't remember which one and it's killing me! (no pun intended)

EDIT : MAGNOLIA was the movie.
