From the "About" page:

Called "the world's greatest tech humour site" by The Register, BBspot creates entertainment for the geekier side of the world. BBspot produces a variety of features like fake news stories satirizing the tech and political worlds, the BBspot Mailbag which pokes fun at the Believers (people who believe our fake news) and much more. BBspot was started by Brian Briggs in April of 2000 as a hobby to bring some fun to the web, but grew to the point where Brian "quit his day job" and made the site his full-time occupation in January of 2003.

Ok...without even looking at the about section, I could tell that news story was a load of shit.

I mean come on, seriously. The thermal paste on those heatsinks would totally not work well with a peltier cooling system.

(Yes, that was a joke.)

It is fake because even lowering your kid's temperature externaly wouldnt reduce their fever :p Otherwise you could throw a cold pack on your kids head and put a fan on em and case closed :p That just makes it so they dont feel warm. Still damn funny, I liked the OC jesus one a lot though :)
