The text certainly isn't too long*, but when you do copy-pastes, you should note the source where you got the information. I believe you got the information from the Urban Legends Website, Snopes.com which says that this is one urban legend which IS true.

*The limit on non-music copy-paste posts is that the citation should not be so long that it overflows my rather large monitor. If it's longer than that, you should summarize the article in your own words, or post an excerpt. There is no length limit on music posts. Copy-pasted quotations should always be attributed.
