Someone mentioned this in rec.music.filk, and althought it was off-topic there, I noticed it was on the the guardian website, so checked it out. Excellent parody of online science reporting. This is a news website article about a scientific finding.

chris September 29, 2010 Reply The comments for the article are also worth browsing through, some are genuine comments on the article, but most are parodying the kind of comment you would get on this kind of science piece. Some miss the mark, but lots of them are bang on target.
