Wasn't this here a year ago in it's original form (from a russian website)?

Edit: found it: https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/249-now-thats-what-i-call-a-... . It was on Hacker News 275 days ago, but received only 4 comments. I guess I saw it on reddit.

I recall a whole bunch of submissions of this story, which got several waves of increasingly major website coverage and IIRC got debunked as a fraud along the way; not that that stopped the waves of coverage.
