Al Queda duped?

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Suddenly, Al Qaeda doesn't look so
smart. Just yesterday, a Times of London reporter
found a cache of plans, left in a Kabul home as the
Taliban retreated, that included notes for making a
thermonuclear device. The papers sent a chill through
the Western world, since they appeared to indicate
sophisticated designs for an atom bomb. 
Now the online Daily Rotten says at least part of
those documents photographed by the Times are taken
verbatim from a "semi-famous" pseudo-document that has
been circulating on the Internet for years. It's a
reprint of a scientific parody called "How to Build an
Atom Bomb," from the geek-humor newsletter Annals of
Improbable Research, originally known as the Journal
of Irreproducible Results.
