If what I have seen is any indication, Kaleea, the reports your friends heard quite likely might have been reports about the one (alleged) report in that one weekly magazine in Egypt. That seems to ba what everyone is reporting on. And then the blogs get hold of it (with some changes) and people start reporting on those. And then people report here in fora like this one that they are seeing it all over the world. Which they are, but in a hugely distorted way.
