Theleekycauldron and Gatoclass: I hope that you noticed that Abrahams is not a science writer, he's the editor of the science humor publication {{Annals of Improbable Research]]... Similarly, his column in The Guardian is intended as humor. With this sourcing, I doubt it should have been promoted for DYK. Randykitty ( talk) 22:41, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
